About Us

Celebrating 40 Years of Land & Lake Safaris

In 1986 Land & Lake Safaris was established as Malawi's first Tour Operator.

Mark & Angela Sprong operated personal safaris across, then, a very remote Malawi and Zambia. 

In the last 40 years, Land & Lake Safaris has curated tours and excursions for thousands of people across the world into Malawi & Southern Africa. From romantic hot air balloon safaris across Kafue National Park to diving the depths of Lake Malawi, our still small team on the ground offer a personalised service to ensure you get the best that the region has to offer.

Our Story

Land & Lake Safaris was founded in the late 80's when Mark and Angela Sprong packed up their young family and made the bold move to Malawi. In those early days, the roads were rough, communications slow and every safari was an adventure into the unknown. From convoys through war-torn Mozambique to fixing cars by the roadside with guests in tow, the Sprongs laid the foundations of a company built on resilience, passion and a deep love for Malawi and its wilderness. Alongside running safaris, they became pioneers in conservation too, helping to establish the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre and supporting community and environmental projects across the country.
 

Nearly four decades later, Land & Lake Safaris has grown into one of Malawi’s most trusted operators, welcoming hundreds of guests each year. The company now runs 15 scheduled tours annually in addition to tailor-made itineraries and private group travel. With a dedicated team of 30 staff, a reliable fleet of safari vehicles and an ethos rooted in both hospitality and conservation, Land & Lake Safaris continues to connect travellers to the beauty of Malawi, Zambia and beyond.
