Affectionately called the “The Warm Heart of Africa”, Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa. Along with its amazing national parks and reserves, Malawi's hospitable people are its greatest asset.

While the land is marked by the Great Rift Valley, running from north to south and Lake Malawi, the 3rd largest lake in Africa, runs along the east, the real pleasure of visiting this land comes from sharing experiences with the locals. So, whether it’s travelling through the Nyika National Park, Malawi’s largest national park with its high number of leopards or indulging in water based sports at Lake Malawi, the courteous behaviour of the Malawi people will make your Malawi holiday an absolute delight.

Malawi's wildlife population may not be able to compete some of Africa's other popular travel destinations but it does offer large tracts of undisturbed wilderness. So, while you may not spot as many lions as you would in the neighbouring national parks, spotting Malawi's playful lemurs is a different type of highlight and should definitely feature on your list of things to do in Africa.

South Africa, the southern tip of Africa, is steeped in natural beauty, and home to some of the most awe inspiring African wildlife. From the Big Cats to the Big Five animals and the birding Big Six, South Africa has them all. On a South Africa holiday, you can explore the picturesque Garden Route, the Cango Caves and mountains of the Drakensberg range where the world's second-highest waterfall resides - the Tugela Falls. South Africa's geography has lush greenery, miles of white beaches along the Indian Ocean on the east and the Atlantic on the west and even spans of semi-desert areas. Visit South Africa at any time of the year and you will find it inviting and beautiful. A confluence of many cultures, the country is rightfully called the “rainbow nation”.

Apart from wildlife safaris, South Africa offers excellent adventure sports throughout the year. Indulge in a whole gamut of activities like hiking, bungee jumping, skiing and snowboarding. Besides this, there are several choices in water sports like ocean safaris and surfing or canoeing and rafting trips on a South Africa tour.
