From tea tastings, to game drives, to sailing around exotic islands on a catamaran... this two week luxury holiday in Malawi does have it all.

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.
