Day 10: Zanzibar - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Leaving Zanzibar you take the ferry back to mainland for an overnight in Dar es Salaam. There may be an opportunity to visit one of the craft markets offering an extensive range of exquisite ebony products (where prices depend on your bargaining skills) and where the goods are made on-site. It is possible to observe the carvers at work and understand the skill, which has gone into making even the simplest trinket. Dinner included.

Day 11: Dar es Salaam - Iringa, Tanzania

Leaving Dar es Salaam you head for Iringa and camp at the Old Farmhouse, a beautiful rustic campsite in rural Tanzania. Try one of the signature Amarula Hot chocolates! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Days 12 - 15: Iringa to Lake Malawi, Malawi

The next morning you head for Malawi passing through the beautiful tea plantations of Tikuku before exiting Tanzania. You enter Malawi through the border post of Songwe and head to Chitimba Beach campsite in Malawi for the night.

The newly democratic Malawi is a landlocked country with 20% of its total area being the beautiful Lake Malawi.  The country's temperate climate allows for swimming in these clear blue fresh-waters all the year round.  We travel the full length of western side of lake, stopping off at various bays and inlets for the next 4 days.  This is the time for rest and relaxation. 

Lake Malawi offers a variety of water sports from various beachside campsites.  Alternatively, you can go wandering along quieter shorelines where you can see the fishermen sorting their daily catch.  Traditional methods are still used in their fishing techniques and you can appreciate their boating skills by trying to paddle in a dugout canoe yourself.

Visit the nearby villages and schools as well as dine in the local village, haggle for a bargain at the local markets, learn the game of bao with some locals … or simply relax on the pristine white beaches. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.
