Malawi Overland Adventure travel - Whichway Overland Adventures
Malawi is dominated by the tranquil waters of massive
Lake Malawi - the third-largest lake in Africa and which covers almost a fifth of Malawi's total area.
This inviting lake streches away like an inland tropical sea filled with clear, warm water and dotted with rocky islands, perfect for relaxation. If you're looking for adventure however, Lake Malawi is still the best place to be. Water-ski, surf-ski, dive and snorkel on the flat lake waters, and end your day with a well-deserved drink on the beach.
From Liwonde National Park to the high northern plateaus and down to the golden lake shores, Malawi offers some spectacular natural scenery and friendly local people.

Malawi Travel Tips

Observe the intricacy and care that Malawi crafters pour into
their carvings. |

Overland adventure travellers are expected to bargain!
Check out the traditionally crafted buckets at the Zomba market and
practise your bargaining skills. |

Visit the lush Zomba plateau where the most spectacular
flowers grow. |

US dollars are widely accepted. It is a good idea
to have some travellers' cheques on hand, although cash will bring
better exchange rates. Credit cards are near useless outside the capital
and a few major cities.
