Learn a few basic Chichewa phrases – it's greatly appreciated. Be mindful of local traditions and customs; observing others is a good way to learn.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Malawi?

    A week could encompass Lake Malawi (for relaxation and watersports), a trip to Liwonde National Park (for wildlife viewing), and perhaps a visit to the Zomba Plateau (for hiking and cooler temperatures). This itinerary requires some travel time between locations.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Malawi?

    The Zomba Plateau and Mulanje Massif experience cooler temperatures than the lowlands, offering relief from the heat, particularly during the hotter months. The weather varies considerably throughout the year, so checking forecasts before travelling is always recommended.
