(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - April 28th, 2013 - Operating in Malawi since 1985 Land & Lake Safaris are recognised as one of the leading tour operators within the country. The company offers a range of self-drive options, and has now fitted Garmen nüvi® 40 satellite GPS devices in all their safari hire vehicles. The equipment runs using “Tracks 4 Africa” which is widely recognized as the industry’s leading mapping source available for the region. GPS devices are available on request for other vehicles and are supplied as standard for 4X4 hires over 21 days. Land and Lake’s 4x4 vehicles are full fitted and include perhaps the best adventure accessory – a rooftop tent!

Malawi is a perfect country for self driving. It’s safe and friendly with a well maintained road network. With short distances between places of interest, journeys are never over-long. Stunning and varied scenery, and the regular opportunity to interact with the local people make any road trip in Malawi a genuinely enjoyable experience.
