Questions
It depends on your passport. The Government of Canada's advice (read 8 November 2026) says Malawi requires a visa, available on arrival or online, and that Canadian tourists do not need a Zambian visa for up to 90 days a year. A yellow fever certificate is required in both countries if you arrive from or transited a country with yellow fever transmission. Check your own government's advice.
Answer for Malawi and Zambia: Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa
No. It is a proposed itinerary you can enquire about, not an available departure. Lodges, guides, vehicles and the border arrangements have not been confirmed. An enquiry takes no payment and confirms no booking; the written quote sets the final price, taxes, inclusions, operator and terms.
Answer for Malawi and Zambia: Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa
Not on this itinerary. CDC guidance names Lake Malawi as a schistosomiasis area, says there is no vaccine or preventive drug, and warns against trusting claims that a spot is safe. Snorkelling is skin contact, so it is excluded.
Answer for Malawi and Zambia: Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa
No. Mfuwe is the Zambian gateway to South Luangwa, not a crossing. The road route goes through the Mchinji border post in Malawi and Mwami in Zambia, near Chipata, then on to Mfuwe. Hours and fees are not confirmed and will be checked for the quote.
Answer for Malawi and Zambia: Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa
Day 7 is long. Our own estimate is six to seven hours in total from Lilongwe to Mfuwe including the crossing, but formalities and road conditions vary and the figure is not verified. A daytime crossing is planned.
Answer for Malawi and Zambia: Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa
Internal flights are not part of the plan and would be quoted separately if you want them. The trip ends with a transfer to Mfuwe Airport, and onward connections there have not been checked.
