Malawi Holidays


africa
Malawi holidays offer beautiful scenery, friendly locals and the chance to unwind beside the calm, clear waters of Lake Malawi.

This scenic landlocked country boasts dramatic peaks, misty forests and friendly people, but its best known attraction is beautiful Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa. A number of charming resorts are set beside the lake's pristine white sand beaches, lapped by crystal clear waters, and offer the ideal spot for a laidback off-the-beaten-track beach break.

Trailfinders offers a range of ways to include Malawi in your holiday and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here. Whether you want to visit Malawi on a sociable small group adventure tour or are looking for advice on how to combine a Malawi stay with a safari elsewhere in Africa – they are the perfect people to ask.
