Amazing trip to Malawi!
I highly recommend Misuku Expeditions for anyone visiting Malawi! Johnnie created a customized itinerary for me as a solo traveler and was in constant communication. Sibu was a fun and engaging guide, and Mac was an excellent driver! When my arrival flight was delayed by 1 day, the Misuku team rearranged the trip based on what I wanted to see most- Majete, Mulanje, and Lake Malawi. At Majete, I was able to live my dream of seeing lions! Thank you Misuku for an amazing trip, and I hope to return to Malawi soon!

Well-Organized, Professional Trip with Misuku Expeditions
I joined a one-week trip organized by Misuku Expeditions, which included a climb of Mount Mulanje as well as safari activities in Liwonde National Park, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
Throughout the entire week, I was accompanied by a dedicated driver named Ben, who was consistently available, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. Beyond driving, he provided valuable explanations and background about every place we visited, effectively serving as a local guide and greatly enriching the journey.
Misuku Expeditions took care of all logistics, including meals, accommodation, and transportation. During the Mount Mulanje climb, they provided a highly experienced guide, along with a private cook and a porter. The entire mountain team was professional, courteous, and attentive, making the climb both safe and enjoyable.
In Liwonde National Park, the company arranged game drives and boat safaris throughout my stay, as well as accommodation located inside the park, which added significantly to the overall safari experience.
The entire trip was organized by Johnnie Kabwilo, who was exceptionally responsive and professional. He was available whenever needed and ensured that everything ran smoothly, even when I requested changes to the itinerary and schedule during the trip itself.
I can highly recommend Misuku Expeditions to anyone looking for a well-organized, flexible, and high-quality travel experience in Malawi, supported by a truly professional and caring team.

Fantastic 5 day trip to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia
I made contact with Johnnie Kabwilo following a recommendation from my hosts during a trip to Malawi. Johnnie was able to offer me a tailor made trip, collecting me in Lilongwe, advising on visa, currency and SIM card practicalities at the border and arranging a hugely knowledgeable driver and guide for South Luangwa park based on my interests in wildlife conservation and ecology.
Johnnie was completely reliable, picking me up from my accommodation in Malawi, and getting me safely to Croc Valley Camp despite the long journey and poor roads. Johnnie knew all the staff at Croc Valley, which has a beautiful location on the Luangwa river. It was my choice to come in wet season to see the beauty of the environment in full bloom and we saw plenty of rain. All of the camp staff, from the warm and welcoming manager Thomas to the drivers, guides, spotters, security guards, bar staff, waiters and cleaners were exceptionally warm and welcoming.
I stayed in the Luxury tents which had plenty of space, a fan and airconditioning which would have been a life-saver in hotter weather, and a bathroom. The plumbing was a little on the "bush" side but it worked, which is more than I can say for some of the other places I stayed!
First time visitors in Africa might doubt the need for a security escort after dark to move between the tent and the reception area, but I was happy to have Bernard's confident guiding and powerful torch to prevent unwelcome close-up encounters with hippos or elephants at night.
My 5 day trip was perfect to return to some of the same locations on repeated occasions which gave us the chance to get to know individual leopards and lions and learn a little about their territories and family structures.
I came back with thousands of photos and very happy memories.
Johnnie went above and beyond his promises, even picking me up from my accommodation in Lilongwe the day after the trip to see me safely to the airport.
I would strongly recommend Misuku Expeditions for travellers who want to get off the beaten track without having to choose between extortionate luxury camps or very basic bush-camps.

Everything worked perfectly with Misuku Expeditions
I had an excellent experience with Misuku Expeditions from start to finish. Johnnie was fantastic throughout the entire process.
Communication was always clear, prompt, and professional, which made planning everything very smooth.
The vehicle used for the journey between Malawi and Zambia was excellent: comfortable, reliable, and perfect for the trip. Everything ran exactly as planned, and the whole experience felt very well organized. Johnnie was very helpful with money exchange issues as well.
Overall, great value for money and a seamless experience. I would definitely recommend Misuku Expeditions to anyone looking for a well-run and enjoyable safari.

FANTASTIC AND WELL ORGANISED SAFARI WITH MISUKU EXPEDITIONS
In August 2026 I travelled with a girlfriend and we had a private 13 Day Lodge Safari in Southern Malawi with James from Misuku Expeditions. James was waiting at the border crossing between Zambia and Malawi and helped us with the border proceedings before driving us to Lilongwe.
I had communicated with Johnnie for 12 months prior to our arrival and his response was always quick and positive. I had suggested the parks and lodges where I wanted to stay on the safari and Johnnie booked all the accommodation on our behalf. We had booked twin beds accommodation but Misuku Expeditions surprised us on our first night with providing each of us with our own separate chalet which was a treat.
We travelled from Lilongwe to Mumbo Island, Liwonde National Park, Zomba Mountain and Majete Wildlife Reserve. James was always ready and on time to pick us up and drive us between the places. He was always very respectful and careful driver especially going up Zomba Mountain and with all the potholes on the roads. The car was always clean and we had plenty of room and were very comfortable in the car. We stayed at a variety of lodges in the National Parks and on Mumbo Island which were all unique and fantastic. The Lodges provided all the game drives and meals.
I can highly recommend Misuku Expeditions to anyone looking for a well-organized, flexible, and high-quality travel experience in Malawi, supported by a truly professional and caring team.
