DIRECTIONS<br />
You can drive to Croc Valley with a normal 2 wheel drive during dry season, perhaps more safe to use a<br />
4x4 during raining season. By road from Lilongwe in Malawi will take about 4-6 hours, by road from Lusaka<br />
will take about 9-12 hours. Both routes go via Chipata in Zambia. The 125 km route from Chipata<br />
to Mfuwe is tarmac road now. There is no petrol station in between .<br />
We can also arrange road transfers for you from Malawi, the Malawi/Zambia border or from Chipata.<br />
Flying from Lusaka or Livingstone can be the quickest and most comfortable way to reach us. During high<br />
season Proflight Zambia runs 2-3 daily flights to Mfuwe airport, during low season 1 flight on most week<br />
days. See: www.proflight-zambia.com<br />
We are a Proflight parner and can also arrange your flight and airport transfers. Please tell us your<br />
time of arrival so that we can pick you up from Mfuwe airport. CrocValley Camp is only about a 30<br />
minute drive from the airport, a fascinating journey through villages and bush.<br />
