Finally, a visit to the charming city of Blantyre, with its colonial architecture and bustling markets, provides a cultural experience.
What parts of Malawi are perfect for a week-long visit?
A week allows for a more comprehensive exploration. Consider combining Lake Malawi's southern region, perhaps exploring Cape Maclear and its surrounding islands, with a safari in Liwonde National Park. This itinerary balances relaxation with wildlife viewing.
What are the best lodges for families and kids in Malawi?
