Malawi Safari and Sundowners

Head to the 'Home of Gin' for an authentic sundowner experience. Malawi gin and tonic or MGT, is made with juniper found only in Malawi and this can be experienced whilst staying three nights at Mvuu Camp on safari where guests can enjoy games drives in 4x4 vehicles, by boat and on foot. Game spotted in the Liwonde National Park includes hippo, crocodile, a variety of antelope, as well as the country's largest elephant population.

This is followed by four nights at Mumbo Camp situated on a tiny, deserted tropical island on Lake Malawi, the perfect backdrop, whilst sipping MGT, to watch the sun go down. Here guests can indulge in a variety of watersports or simply relax.
