Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi & Zambia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kenya is East Africa's safari heartland, home to the Maasai Mara and the Great Migration, alongside a vibrant coastline on the Indian Ocean. Tanzania borders it to the south, offering the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak — and the idyllic islands of Zanzibar. Malawi, landlocked to the southwest, is defined by the vast, crystal-clear Lake Malawi, known for snorkelling, kayaking, and a laid-back backpacker trail. Zambia rounds out the region with Victoria Falls — one of the world's largest waterfalls — outstanding walking safaris in South Luangwa, and some of Africa's most remote wilderness experiences.

21-Day Serengeti to Victoria Falls: Self-Launched Overland Adventure

A self-launched version of Acacia Adventure Holidays' 21-day Nairobi-to-Livingstone overland trip. Instead of a fixed-departure truck tour with a group leader and shared twin rooms, you string together local buses, minivans and the odd budget flight, join shared safari vehicles out of Arusha, catch the ferry to Zanzibar, and cross into Malawi and Zambia overland by yourself. You'll hit the same headline experiences — Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti plains, Stone Town and Zanzibar's beaches, Lake Malawi, and Victoria Falls — but at your own pace, in your own dorm bed, and for roughly half to two-thirds of the operator's advertised per-person price. Costs are realistic backpacker estimates in GBP and will vary with season, group size and how much you splurge on safaris.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi & Zambia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
