Malawi Travel Guide

Malawi's title as the Warm heart of Africa, refers to the friendliness and generosity of the people, but it may just as easily invoke the climate of this tropical refuge in East Africa.

What to do

Malawi doesn't get much press as a safari destination, but the vast Nyika National Park rivals even the massive Kruger Park in South Africa for sheer abundance and variety of wildlife.

Safaris and tours of the African ecosystem also bring travelers to Liwonde National Park, another massive stretch of plants and animals uninterrupted by development, industry or human influence.

Getting there

Malawi does not require a visa for visiting, although there is a departure fee of $30 when you exit the country. Flights to Malawi come through Johannesburg, South Africa or Dubai in the Middle East.

Where to stay

Like most African countries with world-class parks, there are a few international luxury hotels in Malawi. Many of them are located on the banks of Lake Malawi. For guesthouses and hostels, the city of Blantyre is your best bet and for regular hotels, you can find them all over the country, with the best selection in Lilongwe.
