Travel through Africa in Style! Our small group trucks are designed to provide the best Small Group Tour and Safari experience possible. Air conditioning, USB Ports, on-board lavatory, leather swivel chairs, and an electronic safe are just a few of the features that distinguish these overlanding trucks from the competition. 

The tourist resort town of Victoria Falls is undoubtedly Zimbabwe’s most popular destination to start or end any tour and our Vic Falls & Malawi tours begins in this bustling adventurous town. We suggest you arrive a few days earlier to catch up on all the activities in Zimbabwe, including some white water rafting or a bungee jump, before we begin our tour and travel across the border and head for Lusaka in Zambia. Colourful markets, busy villages and rural scenes will greet us on our travels in the days ahead. Our first taste of our African safari is at South Luangwa National Park known for their high concentration of leopards and hippos. South Luangwa National Park is a world-class safari destination and the concentration of animals around the Luangwa River is among the most intense in Africa. We board our truck and set off for Malawi, the warm heart of Africa, where you can kayak, swim and snorkel in sparkling clear fresh water of Lake Malawi before ascending out of the Great Rift Valley. Before heading to Iringa, we will make a stop at a local coffee plantation where we have the opportunity to see the process of growing and harvesting coffee beans and will be able to sample some of the beans, then the game view experience goes on as we visit Mikumi National Park. Mikumi ranks as the fourth largest park in Tanzania, but forms part of a 75 000 square kilometre wilderness that centres on Selous, Africa’s largest game reserve. We continue onwards to the bustling port of Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam grew from a humble fishing village and today is one of the largest cities in Africa. The tour comes to an end upon arrival in Dar es Salaam however it is also possible to extend your tour by adding on our Zanzibar package.

Tour Route

Tour Itinerary

Day 1 – Lusaka

Setting off early from Victoria Falls, we catch a last sighting of the mighty falls before crossing the border into Zambia. While we have a long day travelling today, we get our first impressions of the Africa that awaits us. Colourful markets, busy villages and rural scenes form the backdrop of our journey to the outskirts of Lusaka. We enjoy a prepared meal on arrival as our guides brief us on the days ahead.

Day 2 – Petauke

This morning we drive through Zambia’s busy capital Lusaka before turning east towards Petauke, our destination for the night. As an important link between Lusaka and neighbouring Malawi, the Great East Road winds through rural Zambia and we will cross the mighty Luangwa River along the way. Dotted with villages and subsistence farms, todays landscapes serve as a stark contrast to the developed countries so many of us call home.

Day 3 – South Luangwa National Park

With two days of travel behind us we look forward to the tranquillity of South Luangwa and this morning we make our way to the banks of the Luangwa River. Our first stop though is the town of Chipata, home of Chipata Cotton and an important centre for the cotton famers of the region. Tribal Textiles represents the creativity of the African culture and those interested can enjoy a tour of their workshops (March to December). One of the finest sunsets is surely that enjoyed on the banks of the Luangwa River, so grab a cold drink and watch the day fade away.

Day 4 – South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park is a world-class safari destination and we have a full day to explore the park in search of the variety of wildlife found in the park. This morning you can partake in an optional morning safari or during the dry season (April to December) you can join one of the iconic walking safaris on offer in the park. This afternoon we will enjoy a sunset drive in the park including a sundowner stop. The unique opportunity to explore the park at night gives us a chance to spot the elusive nocturnal species that are rarely seen in the day.

Day 5 – Lake Malawi

This morning we board our truck and set off for Malawi, the warm heart of Africa. Our destination tonight is the shores of Lake Malawi, the southernmost lake in the East African Rift system. As one of the ten largest lakes in the world, the lake stretches for over 500km along the western boundary of Malawi and is home to more species of fish than any other lake. We spend the night on the shores of this natural wonder.

Day 6 – Lake Malawi

Today is all about the lake and this day is set aside for you to relax at the lake.  Use the time to read a book, soak up the sun or indulge in the many attractions that are on offer.

Day 7 – Lake Malawi

Today we are back on the road for most of the day travelling further north and will overnight once again on the banks of Lake Malawi.  Our Nomad guide will lead us on a walking tour through a nearby village in the afternoon.  After the walk, enjoy the sunset over the lake from the beach.

Day 8 – Mbeya Region

We depart this morning and continue north, heading for the Utengule Coffee Lodge where we will overnight.

Day 9 – Tanzania – Iringa

Before heading to Iringa, we will make a stop at a local coffee plantation where we have the opportunity to see the process of growing and harvesting coffee beans and will be able to sample some of the beans. We then ascend the Great Rift Valley and make our way further into Tanzania.

Day 10 – Mikumi

This morning we complete our journey to the doorstep of Mikumi National Park. Mikumi ranks as the fourth largest park in Tanzania, but forms part of a 75 000 square kilometre wilderness that centres on Selous, Africa’s largest game reserve. Today you will have the opportunity to book a game drive in Mikumi National Park.

Day 11 – Dar es Salaam

Today we continue onwards, travelling towards the bustling port town of Dar es Salaam, where your tour comes to an end.
