7 Days

Overview

Awaken your senses on this immersive 7-day journey through Malawi’s iconic coffee-growing regions. From the rolling highlands of Mzimba to the tranquil shores of Lake Malawi, this expedition blends education, adventure, and cultural insight for coffee lovers and curious travellers alike.

Begin your tour in Lilongwe before travelling north to Mzuzu and the Viphya Plateau—home to some of East Africa’s finest Arabica beans. Explore coffee farms shaded by towering forest canopies, participate in seasonal cherry harvesting, and enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access at the renowned Mzuzu Coffee Factory. With professional cupping sessions and guided tastings led by Q-grader experts, you’ll experience Malawi’s bean-to-brew journey in its purest form.

Continue to Nkhata Bay, where lake-view coffee farms offer unique microclimate flavours. Unwind at eco-friendly lodges, savour sunset “coffee and chocolate” pairings, and enjoy optional activities like kayaking and horseback visits. End your expedition back in Lilongwe with a final specialty tasting and a farewell gift of premium Malawi beans.

Perfect for coffee enthusiasts, nature lovers, and travellers seeking an authentic agritourism experience, this premium expedition reveals why Malawi’s coffee highlands are considered one of Africa’s best-kept secrets.
