Land and lake know their stuff and catered well to our requirements
5/5

When we came out in January 2023 we wanted to experience all Malawi had to offer.

Tanith and Ollie were amazing and helped us plan our stay starting with a treehouse stay in liwonde, a stay by the lake at cape maclear followed by 4 days in Zambia at possibly the most gorgeous lodge in the world!

During our stay we saw 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos but we saw tracks which was incredible). All of our guides were amazing and so knowledgeable and our lake stay was super relaxing after our early starts in liwonde.

Everyone we met during our trip were so lovely and welcoming. Can definitely understand why Malawi is known as the warm heart of Africa. Can't wait to visit again!

Absolutely fantastic
5/5

By far the best trip we have had. We did a last minute booking with not much idea of where exactly we wanted to go. Our booking was handled by Tanith who gave us excellent advice and planned our trip so well. We did a self drive trip, dtaying at Liwonde, Mumbo Island and South Luangwa. The self drive was the part we felt a bit nervous about when booking but we certainly didn't need to be. The vehicle was great and had everything we could have needed. Ollie went through everything with us so we set off feeling confident and well looked after.
All the lodges were wonderful and each a bit different so we had a unique experience at each of them. We were assured that the lodges would cater for vegan diets and had been notified when booking - they certinely did not dissapoint. The food was delicious.
The animal sightings at Liwonde were great and the drives felt so private because we hardly saw any other vehicle. Our guide, David was excellent. Mvuu Lodge is absolutely somewhere we will stay again.
Mumbo Island was an excellent relaxing, mid holiday stop. A tropical paradise!
South Luangwa was definitely the highlight. Flatdogs Loddge was fantastic and the animal sightings we excperienced were beyond what we anticipated. Our guide Malama was fantastic and respectful of the wildlife.
An absolutely fantastic trip that we will never forget. Thank you Tanith and Ollie for an incredible time. We will be booking again for next year!

Professional, very helpful and service-oriented
5/5

We rented a 4x4 with rooftop tent and fully kitted kitchen for a 10 days selfdrive trip through Malawi. The communication was very good in the booking phase, when renting out and upon return of the car as well as during the whole trip. We very much liked the idea of a whatsapp group with all crucial team members that could address potential issues during the trip.
Upon pick-up from the airport we also got assistance to purchase a local SIM card and bilharzia medication. It was very helpful to discuss the planned tour and potential sites to stay as well as receiving a contact for a competent mountain guide for a three-day-tour on Mount Mulanje.
We were very happy with the car and the equipment and had a great trip.
