Explera planned our Lilongwe holiday end to end — flights, 3★ / 4★ + lodges, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

Nikunj Patel

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Our first trip abroad to Lilongwe was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
