E very reliable and well organized company to rent 4x4 vehicle for self-drive tour
5/5

We got a hint about Land&Lake Safaris rental service from our friend, who rented from them last year. The communication with them was excellent from the very start. The only glitch was a bank transfer payment for a car deposit - the money didn't arrive to their bank account for almost a month. But I guess this was not their fault, it was a problem in the banking communication system. In the end, the money appeared in their account after all.
We got a Toyota Hilux, with full camping equipment. The car was an older one, with quite a lot of history, but it was in perfect condition. Very clean (including the engine bay), with excellent tires, and all necessary roadworthy and recovery equipment. The camping equipment was also in excellent condition, including the roof-top tent. The car had a double fuel tank installed, which is a very important factor, due to frequent fuel shortages in Malawi. The car handover and the return procedure were fast, and executed very professionally.

We didn't have any single problem with the car or its equipment during our three-week trip all over Malawi, so we will certainly rent from them again. I would warmly recommend Land&Lake Safaris to anyone looking for 4x4 rentals in that region.

Very supportive organisation
5/5

Land and Lake were very supportive in assisting us organising our own trip. All questions we asked were answered within a day and we were always invited to ask more. Our stay in their Dzalanyama Forest lodge was excellent, again with very helpful staff. I would recommend anyone planning to travel to Malawi contacting Land and Lake and will certainly do so myself for future visits.

Fantastic and full of wonderful people. Jim is a wonderful guide!
5/5

I went on the Kuti and the Lake tour and the Dedza pottery tour with Jim. I went solo because I was there on business, but Jim made it completely amazing! He knows so much about the area and is an expert birder. He is also quite good at spotting wildlife. I went in winter and it was quite nice. The grasses dried out and had either been burned or cut down making it easier to see the wildlife. I also loved the rock painting area and it was definitely a highlight of my trip! Thanks Land & Lake and Jim!

The tour operator did a very good job in organizing a wonderful tour through Soutern Malawi for us
5/5

The organization of our tour through Southern Malawi was excellent and we enjoyed the journey very much. The communication with the office of Land & Lake Safaris was always good. We also made a very good experience with Vasco who turned out to be a reliable driver, competent guide and a kind person.

2 weeks Zambia-Malawi
5/5

We did a self drive journey Lilongwe-South Luangwa NP - Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve - Zomba plateau - Liwonde NP - CapMaclear - Lilongwe. Rented car was comfortable, we didn't have any technical problem. All selected lodges were nice with kindly staff and excellent food. The only one mistake was recommended route to Zomba Forest Lodge which was wrong and took us to almost not-drivable road. Luckily we passed it! But we recommend for next travelers not to choose the route according to Google because it exist a much more comfortable road to this lodge which Google doesn't know.
We thank Land Lake for its good job on preparing our journey.We can heartily recommend their service to other travelers. Thank You !

Excellent Organisation
5/5

We get our car from Eric ,who pigged our up at the airport .
Very nice and good communication and introductions,also the information about the tour and the time we need to travel from one lodge to the next was excellent .
The lodges were all good , very bad was Dedza ,poetries lodge ,we did not get towels ,nevertheless we asked for .
The electricity war down , it was very cold ,but nobody told us anything about .
We know that this can happen ,but I prefer some information and help ,
On the other hand bua river lodge owners are very unprofessional ,the employees try to do their best.
It wasn’t allowed to go alone but it wasn’t also no possibility to call someone .
Flat dogs ,livonde and Majete were much better organized

Excellent service, very friendly staff, well-equipped vehicle for self-drive tour
5/5

We have rented a fully equipped Toyota Hilux for a self-drive tour of four weeks in Malawi. The staff of Land and Lake were very friendly and supportive. Especially when we suffered two flat tyres on 1 day: the superb service of Land and Lake ensured that we got to our scheduled destination with a taxi without hardly any delay and that our vehicle was repaired and delivered the next day at our destination. Would recommend anyone to chose for Land and Lake when travelling to Malawi!
