After looking for so long, we can finally add the After looking for so long, we can finally add the African Skimmer to our birding list! This near-threatened bird has an interesting beak. The lower mandible is longer than the upper, so they can dip it easily in the water when flying low. When they touch a fish, the bird snaps its beak shut. We found their nesting spot along the Shire River, so had to keep our distance not to disturb them. Hopefully another time we’ll see them flying, and capture their feeding behaviour!

Today is World Vegan Day! A good day to answer a q Today is World Vegan Day! A good day to answer a question we often get: Can I eat vegan or vegetarian in Malawi? The answer is yes! We have figured out exactly at which lodges in Malawi you can enjoy plant-based meals. And we can tell you from experience that they are delicious! For various reasons, most Malawians don’t eat a lot of animal products. Are you curious about the food in Malawi, and do you want to know what these ladies are making? Visit the link in our bio to read the blog “Food in Malawi, taste the experience!” Available in Dutch and English.

Do you still think that Malawi is not a wildlife d Do you still think that Malawi is not a wildlife destination? Then you’re very wrong! We went on a few days safari in @liwonde_national_park which is managed by @africanparksnetwork . We saw so much wildlife! Like this cheetah that somehow completely missed the warthogs running past… Swipe to see how disappointed and confused one of her sub-adult cubs was! Big thanks to @caws_malawi for the stay inside the park.

Every now and then we introduce ourselves to all o Every now and then we introduce ourselves to all our newest followers. But we haven’t mentioned our two hairiest team members for a while! They’re both rescues from South Africa, where we lived before moving to Malawi. JayJay is the brown boy. He’s about 9 years old now and switches between acting like a puppy and a grandpa. He’s quite the hunter, but learnt to behave himself very well with the cats and chickens where we stay now! Fun fact: his veterinary passport says he’s a German Shepherd… Then we have Mocha, a 3.5 year old girl. She loves pushing you over while cuddling and is always hungry. Being a wannabe Rottweiler with Labrador blood, she loves swimming. Fun fact: Mocha is very curious and can stare at the fish in the Lake for hours. Or at the goats, the chickens, the cats, and even us… They have adapted to life at the beach very well and are best friends with the two dogs that were here already: Happy and Shoppie. Would you like to meet them?
