Crazy beautiful lodge recs. Variety from beach to safari to mountain trekking. Perfectly organized
Malawian Style are THE experts in the Malawi/Zambia region. They organized an itinerary for us (family of four with 2 adult children) that hit the most luxurious and breathtakingly beautiful lodges and ensured variety as we moved between safari, lakeside relaxation, a tea estate nestled in rolling mountains, and culturally interesting cities. Everything went flawlessly and our driver Eddie was a real professional, and taught us so much about the area and culture. For the Zambia bit, they organized flights on tiny planes that land in the middle of game parks with a lodge car waiting (seeing the hippos and giraffes from the air was AMAZING).
After this first trip with Malawian Style in July 2013, I was aching to go back, finally making it happen again in April 2019. My husband and I called it our extremely belated "honeymoon" and Malawian Style organized an incredible itinerary. This time we drove ourselves between lodges, armed by the Malawian Style team with a phone, contact details, itinerary, GPS/map, and vouchers. It was so easy, and interesting to be driving through villages, then arrive at a lodge to be greeted with cold towels and wrapped in the arms of luxury.
About Malawian Style, what I loved most is their knowledge of the area - they scope out every lodge and were able to give the best recommendations, including which exact "tent" (can't even call it that, more like mini place) / room we want (e.g. #6 has a plunge pool, but #10 at the end gets elephants at the water's edge below it at night). They helped us go over trade-offs, and somehow accommodated all of our crazy desires. Organization was excellent, we got some pretty spiffy itineraries and pre-travel info before our trip.
I really can't say enough how great our trips were and how Malawian Style made the planning so easy and the travel so simple! Thank you!!! (In particular Mike, Razzia, and Guide Eddie) Can't wait for #3 :P

My dream trip to Africa!!!
I was fortunate to find Malawian Style Safari tours when planning my dream trip to Africa. After contacting them I knew I was in good hands. They helped me find the perfect Safari Lodge for my family trip. They even arranged a personal driver escort to help us get across the border from Malawi to Zambia with no problems. I am planning another family Safari and will definitely call Malawian Style to take care of my trip!!!

Professional, Efficient and Went the Extra Mile
My husband and I, with the help of Malawian Safaris, hosted a YPO (Young Presidents Organisation) family event in Malawi in 2015. The event took place in Lilongwe and at Kaya Mawa on Likoma Island. There were 25 attendees and the Malawian Safari team were instrumental in making this a very successful event for which we received an award from YPO. Mike, Tapiwa and team did all the coordination, bookings, itineraries for the 5 day event and provided all the back up support. Thank you to Malawian Safaris the YPOers who attended this event still talk about it.

Honeymoon in Malawi
For our honeymoon we booked a trip with Malawian Style to the south of lake Malawi. It was breathtakingly beautiful and very well organised. The transfer from the airport to our first lodge and everything in between was arranged by Malawian Style.

The most wonderful, luxurious accomodating Safari experience!
I contacted Malawian Style about a 3 day Safari at short notice, as an anniverary gift to my partner. We were collected from our previous location by a really friendly member of staff, and transported to Mvuu Camp. When we got there, we were surprised with an upgrade to Mvuu Lodge which was so unbelievably generous of Malawian Style! We had just spent three days hiking and camping on Mt Mulanje, and then were greeted with such luxury and hospitality. The day safari was exceptional, a mixture of boat and land. The guides were so knowledgable and really got to know us and tailored the outings to our interests, while educating us on things we never knew about. The food was fantastic. Then on the last night for our anniversary, we were surprised with a candlelit dinner on our beautiful balcony, all on the house. It was the most magical experience, and I couldnt have asked for anything more. I am definately going to return to this safari lodge, thanks to Mike and his amazing team for the trip of a lifetime!

Everything taken care of! Always a great experience.
I’ve been using Malawian Style to organize safaris for me for the past 8 years. Each time they have been professional and handled everything for me with ease. They have recommended unique safari options depending on time of year and budget. If you want someone who knows all the ins and outs of safari in this part of the world look no further!

We had an incredible experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better operator to take us on safari
Mike is so personable and accommodating.He collected and drove us to Zambia and was a great host. The lodge we stayed in South Luangwa was comfy, clean and had everything we needed. We stayed for 3 days doing morning and night safaris. It was AMAZING. Everything was really well organised. Couldn’t recommend it more. Brilliantly organised, highly professional and great great fun. 5 stars

Returning Home
In April last year I travelled with my girlfriend to Malawi. We wished to self drive the route Lilongwe, Cape Maclear, Mvuu Lodge, Blantyre back to Lilongwe. Communication from the start was prompt, informative and friendly. On arrival we were met by another friendly and knowledgeable representative with an excellent vehicle full with fuel. The representative also provided a mobile phone with all our required contacts and detailed directions for our trip. Our trip was a relaxed adventure, Cape Maclear is beautiful, laid back and a requirement in life. We moved easily onto Mvuu driving down the lakeshore road with all its bustle and then open spaces. Mvuu lodge is luxury, tranquility and nature all around you. We saw all the game we wanted guided by local experts who had an answer for all our questions. Malawi is stunning for its sights and people, Malawian Style ensures the whole experience is easy and relaxed. We will return to Malawi and we will be in contact with Malawian Style when we return.
