<\/a><\/p>\nBecause of the temperature, you always have to cool down in a swimming pool. Or worse, by swimming or snorkelling in Lake Malawi<\/a>. This lake is way too big, in many places you can’t even see the other side. And the water is so clear that you can see the fish swimming. Some species are so colorful that it hurts your eyes.<\/p>\n On holiday you want to get drunk in a crowded nightclub, to sleep off your hangover at a busy beach the next day. In Malawi that\u2019s not possible at all! There aren’t that many nightclubs, and most beaches are basically empty. It’s so boring when you don\u2019t have to fight for the best spot under a palm tree.<\/p>\n It’s no better on safari<\/a>. You hardly meet other people in the national parks. This means that you have to search for wildlife yourself. At least in other countries, you can join a traffic jam at an elephant or lion sighting without having to think twice. On top of that, you will find it way too quiet here in nature. You miss screaming people and their sound systems. Who wants to listen to birds these days?<\/p>\n Malawi is known as the Warm Heart of Africa. Partly because of the warm smile of the friendly people<\/a>. Smiling back at everyone is exhausting. In the rest of the world, people are no longer used to using those muscles in their face.<\/p>\n Then these people even start a conversation. About where you\u2019re from, and what they can contribute to your joy in Malawi. Why don’t they just mind their own business?<\/p>\n Fortunately, you will find other types of fast food in the cities. But in general the food in Malawi<\/a> is fresh. You can get local seasonal fruits and vegetables everywhere. It\u2019s becoming easier to buy meat that has not been imported, and comes from animals that live outside. And it’s disappointing how well vegetarians and even vegans in Malawi can eat. Lovers of preservative-packed microwave meals should stay at away.<\/p>\n When you look very well, you actually might find a McDonald’s in Malawi<\/p><\/div>\n Malawi is a very photogenic country. The hundreds of shades of green in the bush, the yellow, orange, red and sometimes even purple of the sunset, and of course the colorful local chitenje fabrics. You want to take pictures everywhere in Malawi, so the memory of your phone or camera gets full quickly.<\/p>\n If you show these photos to everyone at home, you lose a lot of time. They\u2019ll want to hear your stories again and again. You are always reminded of your experiences in Malawi. The journey never really ends that way, so know what you’re getting into\u2026<\/p>\n Not because of the crime, because there\u2019s hardly any here. On the beach where we used to live, we slept with the doors open. And nothing ever happened. You won’t even lose your key there, because you never use it. Terribly boring!<\/p>\n The whole country scores better on safety than many places in Europe. If you want to experience that scary Africa, you’ll be highly disappointed here…<\/p>\n The reason Malawi is dangerous, is that you never want to leave anymore. It seems like people are being brainwashed, because everyone says it. So stay far away if you don’t want the risk of getting homesick later.<\/p>\n \u2026is that we live in Malawi. We help you arrange everything for your trip, while still leaving enough space for adventure. It doesn’t feel as familiar here as at home, because you don’t have to experience any stress at all. Especially when you book your trip with us!<\/p>\n2 There are hardly any tourists<\/h2>\n
