Crafted Africa

ABOUT

Crafted Africa was founded by Mike Varndell, who was born in Zimbabwe and raised in Malawi. After pursuing a career in finance in the UK, he returned to Africa in 2009 to fulfill his dream of becoming a travel industry guru. He started with Malawian Style, which began as a budget group tour company and expanded to high-end adventure tours in Southern Africa.

With expertise extending far beyond Malawi, this team’s success comes from blending deep local knowledge with international standards. Guests enjoy personalized service and fast response times. Itineraries are thoroughly researched and custom-tailored, focusing on sustainable and charming boutique properties. A variety of adventure activities are available, including walking safaris, hot air balloon flights, cultural experiences, and fishing. Honeymooners, solo travelers, families, and groups of friends are all welcome and well accommodated.
