Liwonde Park, Cold Drinks & Ilala Palms
Our roof top tent pops up once again, but this time at Liwonde Safari Camp which I like a lot. The camp has a great Gaudi-esque feel to it

Into Malawi, Family & Fresh Water Diving
The sunsets over Lake Malawi on the first two evenings are incredible. Fishermen in their proud boats chug along on the often smooth waters sending ripples through the colours of sunset

Fish River Canyon, Ais Ais & Burning Bushes
We turn down a final gravel road to Hobas. One of the few access points to the Fish River Canyon
