Land & Lake Safaris

A good organized Team, we felt well taken care of. We made an individual self drive tour. We had no Problems with the car, it was equipped good. The communication was very good, we always were connected Malawi was a great experience we visited the north, lake Malawi and some National Parks.

An exceptional bespoke safari organised by Land and Lake Safaris I recently completed a 9-day bespoke safari of southern Malawi, organised and run by Land & Lake Safaris (LLS). It was excellent and met all of my expectations. Starting from Lilongwe, I visited Blantyre (The Leslie), Majete Wildlife Reserve (Thawale Lodge), Zomba Plateau (Zomba Forest Lodge), Liwonde National Park (Mvuu Lodge) and Dzalanyama Forest (Dzalanyama Forest Lodge) before returning to Lilongwe (Kumbali Country Lodge). All the places that I stayed at were very good but I would make special mention of Zomba Forest Lodge and Mvuu Lodge which were truly outstanding. My particular thanks go to two members of the LLS staff for their massive contributions to the enjoyment of my safari. Firstly, Reservations Consultant, Denzel Banda, produced the initial itinerary and then worked patiently with me over several iterations to bring the schedule in line with my preferences. It was Denzel who booked all of the accommodation and ensured that the safari ran smoothly. Secondly, Jim Katengu was my guide for the whole of the safari and could not have been a more knowledgeable and entertaining companion. He was a brilliant guide, an exceptionally safe driver and willingly shared his great knowledge of Malawi’s wildlife, ecology, people, geography, history and culture. He is also one of Malawi's top birders, as he ably demonstrated during our two walks in Dzalanyama Forest. My sincere thanks go to Land & Lake Safaris in general and to Denzel and Jim in particular. Hopefully, I will revisit Malawi and use LLS again in the foreseeable future.
