By rental car to Northern Malawi
During this tour by rental car you will get to know the sparsely populated northern part of Malawi. You will visit Malawi's largest national park, the Nyika Plateau. The vast and rolling hills, covered in grass and occasionally interrupted by a patch of forest, remind you of the Scottish Highlands: the zebras, elk and roan antelope ensure that you stay in the African atmosphere. Continue your route to one of the many unique coves in the far north by lake Malawi for a relaxing beach stay and finally finish your tour in the up-and-coming Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. Don't expect a Big Five on this tour, but a tour far away from the beaten paths with unique vistas and experiences in an authentic setting.
