You don’t necessarily have to see the sun itself, to be amazed by the beauty it creates.
Lake Malawi + sunsets = ?

Vultures are a great indication of a healthy ecosystem. Since African Parks started assisting the Malawi government with the management of important natural areas, wildlife numbers are rising. The re-introduction of key predator species, such as lion and cheetah, made it possible for vultures to return as well.
Not everyone might find this Lappet-faced Vulture a pretty bird, but it’s certainly a big win for Malawi’s biodiversity!

Sable antelope are quite a rare sighting in most African countries, but in Malawi they’re relatively common!
Have you ever seen them on safari?

We post a lot of nature and wildlife photos. But did you know we also deeply care about the people of Malawi?
Unlike many NGO’s, we only help where we are asked to help. Through meaningful conversations, we try to come up with solutions for a variety of local challenges. Always in a way that works for the people in these areas.
For example, here you see Hessel discussing the possibilities of a fuel-efficient cooking stove with a very talented builder in a village in the Kasungu District. With the financial and moral support of the SEEn Foundation, this builder now created one for each family. This way the village is using 60-70% less firewood than before!

Lake Malawi provides livelihoods for countless people in this small southeastern African country.
If you’re interested in making real connections with the people who live in your holiday destination, then you’ll definitely fall in love with Malawi!

Looking forward to meeting you here!

The white-breasted cormorant is a common bird to see around Lake Malawi. They smell of fish... But look pretty cool!

Some say that the elephant was once human, tricked

Some say that the elephant was once human, tricked by her husband into taking the form of an animal. Others tell stories of the man who stole the elephant’s skin, and forced her to live as a human, as his wife. And in one tale, a struggle between an elephant and crocodile left the elephant with a much, much longer nose than before.
It’s no surprise that Africa is full of stories about these giants. Many legends portray elephants as wise, strong and just, although some take into account the capacity for elephants to commit violence and economic damage.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful World Storytelling Day!

Exactly one week ago, we left Lilongwe and moved to one of Lake Malawi’s private beaches. Could there be a better homebase for our tours?!
See you soon in paradise!

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #ChooseToChallenge
We meet many women in Malawi, who have huge dreams and are not afraid to challenge the difficulties they face. It’s not easy, but motivation and hard work go a long way.
This is a photo of National Tree Planting Day in December 2020. We are very grateful to have witnessed to Nguwe Community come together to plant 1000 trees and build a fuel-efficient cooking stove for each household.
This was possible because of their dedication and the support of the SEEn Foundation!

Sometimes you close a chapter in your life, while not yet starting a new one.

Today is World Wildlife Day!
“On 20 December 2013, the Sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim 3 March, the day of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as World Wildlife Day, to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild fauna and flora.”
Today is also Martyr’s Day here in Malawi. We honour the memory of those who died in the struggle to secure Malawi’s independence from the British Empire. The date is based on an uprising against British rule that took place on 3 March, 1959.

Touching or even picking up wildlife is something

Touching or even picking up wildlife is something I very much discourage. But when a chameleon crosses a busy road, I just have to help it to get to the other side safely. And I have to admit I held it a bit longer than necessary... They are just so fascinating to watch!!

Vervet Monkeys are cute and naughty at the same time. And can be found all around Malawi and many other African countries!
Have they ever tried to steal something from you?
