FOMO is real. Don’t feel left behind and travel

FOMO is real. Don’t feel left behind and travel to Malawi!

We’d love to take you on one of our hikes. Or guide you on safari. Or make sure you always have a cold drink while chilling at the beach.
Or all of the above combined!

Helmeted Guinea Fowl have the face of a dinosaur.

Helmeted Guinea Fowl have the face of a dinosaur. But that doesn’t mean they’re dangerous!

Except for when you wish to sleep in, because they are sometimes referred to as the alarm clocks of the African bush…

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?

Sable Antelope are a relatively rare species to see on safari. But in Malawi, the numbers are growing!

Malawi is not your typical a dime a dozen holiday destination. And that’s just the way we like it!

Do you know what I’m holding?

No? Yet chances are you drink it every day. Not in this stage though.

Please clean out your eyes, and have a proper look around you. Right now.

Let’s be honest… Wouldn’t you rather be in Malawi?

Meet our neighbor, the African Fish Eagle, perching about 20 meters from where we are getting a lodge ready on the shores of Lake Malawi.

Do you believe me when I say this is the awesomest beach in the country?!

“Don’t forget; beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies…”
- Paulo Coelho

But I can promise you that here at Lake Malawi, the sunsets are always stunning. With or without clouds!

Do you also sometimes feel, like you just want to

Do you also sometimes feel, like you just want to sit against an old wooden boat. With your bum in the sand and your feet in the water. Staring into the distance, where the sun slowly starts sinking into the lake.

That’s all part of the ‘slow travel’ concept!

When traveling Malawi with us, there’s no rushing. We make sure you’ll have plenty of time to really soak in all beautiful things at each location.

Time to enjoy the landscapes, watch animals pass by and of course to connect with the friendly people here.

Sounds like your kind of holiday? Great!

Feel free to schedule a no-strings-attached video call to meet with us. Together with you we’ll create a dream trip full of new memories!

“Stop the car! Stop the car!
I think I saw a giraffe laying down!”

“A giraffe in the reeds? No way, they would never… Oh, you’re right!”

Did you get any nice surprises today?

Surviving as a fisherman in Malawi is hard work.

Surviving as a fisherman in Malawi is hard work.

I mainly take photos of the wooden canoes, known here as bwato, because they’re so photogenic. Especially in front of those spectacular sunsets!

But you also see groups of fishermen with larger boats, working together with bigger nets.

Unfortunately some people are using mosquito nets for fishing, which destroys the new generations of many species.

That and many other challenges, are being tackled by @rippleafrica who are working with local community leaders to protect over 400 km of lakeshore. And they keep expanding!

Let me know if you’re interested in a blog about the work they’re doing 👇

The African Wild Dog is one of the most endangered

The African Wild Dog is one of the most endangered wildlife species on the planet, with only about 6600 individuals left in the wild.

Once again @africanparksnetwork is proving to be a key player in nature conservation. This week, they moved 14 Wild Dogs from Mozambique and South Africa to Malawi. This iconic predator is reintroduced to @liwonde_national_park and @majetewildlifereserve , which they manage in collaboration with the Malawi Department of National Parks and Wildlife.

We are so so so excited about this! We can’t wait to go see them. But until then we have to do with this photo we took a few years ago in South Africa.

Are there still people who believe Malawi is not a real safari destination?!

Do you know Aesop’s story of the Tortoise and the Hare?

We feel like tortoises now, with things moving so slowly in tourism.

But, we strongly believe in slow travel, so it might not be as bad as we think.

When traveling, are you more a tortoise or a hare?

Our 400th post on Instagram! Time to celebrate with 4 facts you might not know about us yet.

Wait, you’re asking for 400 facts? Just book a private tour with us and you’ll have a live Q&A…

1. It’s no secret that we love hiking. But Hessel doesn’t even own proper hiking shoes!
2. Dilo only started wearing glasses in June 2019, though he probably needed them since 2018…
3. Everyone knows we love nature and animals. But did you know our two dogs JayJay and Mocha are both rescues from South Africa, which joined us on our road trip when we moved to Malawi? And that we are past ánd future horse owners?
4. We eat vegetarian most of the time, even vegan. But we can’t say no to a braai on the beach!

We also like to get to know our loyal followers better! What is a fun fact about you?👇

Once upon a time, before humans walked the Earth, the Zebra was still white without stripes. And the Baboon didn’t have a bald red bum yet. But then, the Great Drought started…

This egret froze to a complete standstill when I came close for a photo. Right after I clicked, he flew off.

As if it took him a while to remember his comfort zone…

Because of their relatively short necks, warthogs have adapted to kneeling when they eat.
It might look silly, but it works for them!
Do you have any habits that others find silly? Be proud and share them in the comments!
