An eye for local businesses
Thanks to 1 2 Travel Africa, I was able to discover special and unique places in Africa, tailored to my wishes. 1 2 Travel Africa also has an eye for local businesses, which I find very important during my travels. This way I can experience the tourist attractions, as well as unique and special (undiscovered) gems and also support the local community.
Travel to Malawi for breath-taking nature
Malawi offers a unique diversity in landscapes at short travel distances. Lots of work is being done to make the National Parks and Wildlife Reserves even better. For this, the government works together with some very experienced nature conservation organisations. The numbers of elephants, zebras, buffaloes, leopards and a variety of antelope grow every year. Since the successful reintroduction of lions and black rhino’s, it’s even possible again to spot the famous Big 5 on safari in Malawi.
Your trip to Malawi contributes to the protection of local nature and wildlife!
Passionate bird watchers (like us!) will also find what they love. With 650 different bird species in the country, you should not forget your camera and binoculars.
Obviously, Lake Malawi is a highlight of your trip. Besides swimming and relaxing, you can also go on a little kayak adventure to one of the islands. There you snorkel between the colourful cichlid fish that Lake Malawi is famous for.
With a cold drink in your hand and your feet in the sand, sitting between palm trees and listening to the calm waves, you discover the true meaning of the word paradise!
