Plastic waste is a huge ever-growing problem, harming wildlife and communities worldwide. Animals eating plastic suffer serious health issues, and the natural beauty of these areas is at risk. Recycling can be tricky, especially in safari areas in developing countries. 😅

But there are solutions, firstly in Zimbabwe and Zambia, Ele-Collection Enterprises tackles this problem by empowering local communities, protecting wildlife, and cutting carbon emissions (of plastic that would otherwise be burned or left) by turning plastic waste into building materials, products and even concrete. 👏

Tourism companies offering trips to these regions can support this by adding a plastic pledge to itineraries or bed-nights. This provides a great CSR project with real impact in your sold destination. 💚

We at Vumbua Africa use Plastic that is made from plants, not petroleum.

We through Water-to-Go supply our all our clients who book with us the only bioplastic water purifier bottle. Our bioplastic water bottles are made from carbon-sequestering sugarcane grown ethically and sustainably sourced.

Water-to-Go bioplastic bottles are truly sustainable. The top of the plant is removed and grows back in about 90 days. The harvested portion is used to make sugar.

The waste material from sugar production is then used to make the bioplastic water purifier bottles.

The waste product is recycled and used as fertilizer back on the sugarcane plants.

I highly recommend checking out the full Ele-Collection documentary featuring owner Simon Teede.

Vumbua Africa does self drive hire in Malawi.

All our vehicles come with: * unlimited mileage, * 90% insurance coverage with just a 10% excess, * 100% 3rd party insurance coverage within Malawi.
​
All hires come with a comprehensive vehicle handover, a credit card is required as well as a contactable phone number whilst you're travelling.

Charges may apply should you on or off-hire your vehicle from another location.

Due to Zambian restrictions, we are no longer able to start your hire from Zambia.

Our vehicles are however, eligible to cross borders with prior notification and border crossing clearance documents. Additional insurance extensions of $10.00 per day outside of Malawi may apply.

Each vehicle comes equipped with its very own picnic basket - Inside there is a flask, travel mugs, plates, a chopping board, bottle opener, matches, a sponge, a bread knife, cutlery, tea, coffee, powdered milk and sugar, a tea towel, a hand towel, a bag of cookies and a bag of sweets!

Self-driving across Malawi and Zambia is not only easy, it's exceptionally rewarding.

Malawian roads are simple to navigate across the country, though we may suggest it's a bit like a video game to avoid people, chickens, goats, bicycles, potholes and other traffic - It's certainly entertaining and no drive is a boring one!

Malawi is a lot more populated than Zambia, so your driving is never too remote across the 'Warm Heart of Africa'. You may need to engage 4 wheel drive in the rainy season through the game reserves, or up to Nyika Plateau, but most locations are easy enough to get to, even in a saloon vehicle during the summer months.
​
Zambia is a little different.

Zambia is split up between four major roads that run up and down the country and across in an almost square shape. The rest you might find, are dirt roads.
Many more remote locations are only accessible at certain times of the year and crossing into parks such as North Luangwa and Liuwa Plains requires a short ride across a river on a pontoon.
​
So whether you're going seriously off the beaten track in the heart of Zambia, or you're pottering across the Malawi landscape, our vehicles are equipped to take you where and for however long you wan to go for.
​
The beauty of hiring a car through us is you're never stranded. Our team of experts and our connections across the region mean we're able to help you while you're out on the road.

We offer a free of charge rescue and replacement service, a 24hr call line and guidance on your journey!

We also do self drive vehicle hire in Namibia & South Africa.

(T's & C's apply)

Vumbua Africa is the perfect choice for those over 60 looking to experience Africa at their own pace. Leisurely-paced trips around the most fascinating cities, safari and beach destinations.

We tailor our itineraries to suit your exact needs – gone are the days of an African safari being too adventurous for the older generation. The setting of the African bush is the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Whether you’re simply reading by the pool watching the passing game; going on a drive and keeping your eyes peeled for the Big 5 or taking a walk to appreciate the smaller things the bush has to offer - like the resplendent bird species - we assure you that there is something for everyone in Africa.

Ageing is something that should be celebrated as we are reaching the point in our lives where we are able to be unapologetically selfish.

Ease, accessibility, and wonder are yours with the celebrated traditions of an African Safari designed specifically for you - From Ugandas Queen Elizabeth national park to the winding waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta, secluded water holes and endless plains, you can discover elusive wildlife, visit local communities, and experience the essence of the natural world.
