Our trip begins on Zanzibar, where we spend some time on the gorgeous palm-backed beaches and exploring the intriguing alleyways of Stone Town. Then we board a train and head south through remote villages in scenic rural southern Tanzania. In Malawi, we spend a few days exploring the tranquil beaches and islands and enjoy some tremendous sunsets over the lake. From Nkhata Bay we take a ferry to the little-visited extreme south of the lake and then, via Malawi's capital of Lilongwe cross into Zambia. South Luangwa National Park is well known for its high concentration of elephant and leopard and crocodile and hippo live in the wide and scenic Luangwa River. We pass through Zambia's lively capital of Lusaka and end the trip at the impressive Victoria Falls where the Zambezi River tips 100 metres into the Batoka Gorge. There are many optional adventure activities on offer here, including white water rafting, bungee jumping and elephant riding.
