Add to Shortlist

Day 105 Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam roughly means 'haven of peace' and has a long history of trade with India, the Middle East and Germany, making it a fascinating blend of cultures.

Day 106 Iringa

Overlooking the Ruaha River, Iringa is a picturesque town with a relaxed vibe, some good places to eat and a wonderful crafts centre.

Days 107-109 Lake Malawi

Chitimba lies along the coast of Lake Malawi and has lovely beaches, friendly locals and a laidback atmosphere.

Day 110 Lilongwe

As the cosmopolitan capital of Malawi, Lilongwe has a number of great restaurants, cafes and markets, which are often interspersed with areas of greenery.

Days 111-112 South Luangwa National Park

Famed for their walking safaris, South Luangwa National Park holds an abundance of Africa's favourite animals and classic African savanna scenery.

Day 113 Luangwa River

See amazing sunsets and hear a symphony of animal calls while camping on the banks of the winding Luangwa River.

Days 114-116 Lower Zambezi

With big populations of hippos and crocodiles - among the usual suspects - the Lower Zambezi is a fabulous spot to take to the river and see Africa from the water.

Day 117 Choma/Livingstone

Choma is a small, friendly Zambian town halfway between Lusaka and Livingstone with a small market and smattering of shops. Located on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, Livingstone is a lovely town catering to those who are visiting the falls, and named after Dr Livingstone, I presume.

Victoria Falls is a town on the Zimbabwean side of the falls, with spectacular views and a reputation as the adventure capital of Zimbabwe.
