Our experience with Baseline Travel Agency from Lilongwe, Malawi was absolutely outstanding. The safari was perfectly organized and truly unforgettable — breathtaking landscapes, amazing wildlife, and some of the most beautiful and luxurious accommodations we have ever stayed in. Everything was handled with incredible professionalism and precision. There were no delays at all, every transfer and activity was perfectly on time, which made the entire trip completely stress-free. What impressed us the most was the individual approach to the client. The team carefully listened to all our expectations and tailored every detail of the journey to match exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire trip we felt safe, comfortable, and exceptionally well taken care of. Baseline Travel Agency delivers a perfect combination of luxury, reliability, and authentic African adventure. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a premium safari experience in Malawi and beyond.

Excellent Service -Highly Recommend
My husband and self got introduced to Baseline Travel by a friend who had just returned from Malawi. We booked with them for a 7- day tour where they shared Malawi tour options for our considerations, quite a good team with a good response rate on emails (something rare among african companies) a thing which made our booking experience with them easy, the trip was fun as it started in Lilongwe and we flew out from Blantyre. They offered us a good car too and Charles was a good driver. I Recommend them and prices are negotiable and if you have a budget, they can tailor something for you.
