Explore Malawi Beyond the Lodge

We know Malawi like the back of our hand. From remote, hidden gems to iconic must-sees, we’ve spent years exploring every corner of this country.

We know which lodges serve the best lakeside sundowners, where to find the freshest fish straight off the boat, and which safari guides will get you closest to the action.


Let us take you on an adventure—whether it’s a tailor-made itinerary, a spontaneous day trip, or something entirely unique. We handle the details, you just enjoy the experience.

Kumbali Expeditions Lake Malawi fishing

The Lake

Lake Malawi is the soul of the country — a vast, crystal-clear freshwater lake fringed with golden beaches, vibrant fishing villages, and incredible biodiversity. It’s the perfect place to unwind, explore, and experience Malawi’s laid-back lakeside life.

The Bush

Malawi’s bush offers a raw, untamed wilderness that feels worlds away from the beaten track. It’s where you’ll encounter elephants on foot, hear hyenas at night, and experience nature up close, undisturbed and authentic.

The Heritage

Malawi’s heritage is rich, diverse, and deeply woven into everyday life. From ancient rock art to vibrant traditions, local crafts, and warm village hospitality — it’s a culture best experienced, not just observed.

Itineraries

Below are a few sample itineraries, ranging from a relaxed 7-night circuit in the Central Region with minimal driving to an extended three-week journey that covers many of Malawi’s highlights. These examples are meant to inspire you and demonstrate the range of experiences we can arrange. Every trip is fully tailor-made, built around your dates, budget, and interests. Whether you're organising a birding group in July or you're a solo anthropologist visiting in the heat of October, we’ll design an itinerary that fits your needs.
