Effective Philanthropy
The Effective Philanthropy programme has been designed for the more philanthropic amongst us looking to experience a behind the scenes view of working Malawi (but in a degree of comfort). Our guests will have the opportunity to visit local grass root projects in hillside communities, conservation initiatives in a National Park, Fair Trade projects on a working Tea Plantation, local economic development programmes in rural villages and of course some time spent relaxing on the shores Lake Malawi on a private island retreat. Come and join us on this unique trip designed to offer a healthy mixture of philanthropic enterprise and comfortable adventuring.
We will tailor this trip to you. Change anything - from excursions to accommodation to places visited.

The Responsible Safari Company Terms & Conditions
The Responsible Safari Company Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations
Like most African nations Malawi has a dry season and a wet season. The wet season stretches from November to April and is not the most highly recommended time to visit, although the storms towards the end of the season are spectacular to behold and bring the landscape to life. The dry season extends from May to October, with cool temperatures (by African standards) until August. Those seeking warmer weather should target September or October, when temperatures are pleasantly hot. September/October also hosts the Lake of Stars festival – a must for music lovers.
