MALAWI : What People Say
We knew Malawian hospitality and friendship would not let us down but we were nevertheless
surprised by the overwhelming love and generosity from our former Churches in town and rural
areas. Blantyre Synod officials also did there best to make our stay comfortable and happy and
even put on a moving farewell for us when our time of departure came. I was not sure whether
my old fluency in Chichewa would come back but I am glad to say that- except when I was very
tired - it did return. --- Rev Howard Taylor
The narrow country of Malawi is one of Africa's most
beautiful, its east border skirts a long translucent
lake wrapped in rolling hills and exotic foliage.
Split between tent camping and fixed accommodations,
this wildlife tour takes you though Malawi and into
Zambia by foot and small safari bus.
Credit Cards
Don't count on being able to use credit cards in Kenya, Tanzania or
Malawi. Traveller's cheques are still your best bet. There is also the usual
problem with US$100 bills (and sometimes even the US$50 as well).
Richard Carr - UK (Dec 97)
Scams & Warnings
In Malawi, people should be careful at the market near the Livingstonia
Beach Hotel at Salima Bay. The people who do the carving are quite
talented and highly skilled. The unskilled people are also making money by
packing people's carvings and they are very aggressive about their
business. The packers will approach you on the walk up to the market,
introduce themselves and then tell you their price. My advice to anyone is
to not promise that you will come back to them. Tell them all to wait until
you have made your purchases and that you will take the cheapest price
for packing when you come back.....---Kirk Nesbitt - Australia (Feb 98)

Nowhere in Africa can you gain such an authentic experience of the sights, sounds and smells of the African
bush. These two forgotten countries have escaped the ravages of ethnic war, famine and disease most other
nations in Africa have suffered, and have recently undergone peaceful transitions to multi-party democracy. It
would be hard to find friendlier people anywhere in the world, and big smiles are given free and frequent. In
Zambia you will visit isolated communities living alongside vast concentrations of wildlife and be inspired by
sustainable management initiatives. And in Malawi, you will witness the great potential for tourism in a
predominantly rural, agricultural based country with a highly varied natural landscape bordering a vast, beautiful
lake. This is a wildlife and cultural tour you will remember forever.
