    Visiting Mulanje Mountain was an exciting event. Malawi is a Beautiful and when in Malawi add value to refreshing experience by visiting Mulanje mountain. My wonderful experience included the mountain hike to Dziwe la Nkhalamba Falls guided by Davie. I was in the company of a workmate Gabriel Chipeta all of us Malawians living in Malawi. While hiking a lot of calories were burnt and the exercising was very rewarding. The tour guides helped with taking beautiful photos as they explained what goes on in the mountain and the forest.
    You can arrange your visit to Mulanje mountain by contacting Davie on Phone/whatsapp: +265882395708

    For close encounters with dangerous animals, this is the place. The safaris were fantastic - lots of lions and excellent expert guiding. It's not busy - for now - so you could enjoy the wildlife in peace, either alone or maybe with one other safari car.

    We stayed at CCAP Cottage with a beautiful view, the manager Daniel was very nice and helpful about everything. He also took us to visit all the local waterfalls and took us to one of the peaks of the mountain, to be able to get around in Zomba it is essential to have a guide so as not to take risks. We recommend you contact him to plan itineraries and book the cottage. Daniel zomba guide: +265 (0) 99 339 2966

    Kuti Wildlife Reserve is a wonderful place for a horse riding. It is family and kids friendly and safe (no predators). Thanks to our sharp eyes guide Howard, in the two hours ride we saw very close most of the reserve animals such az giraffe, zebra, greater kudu, nyala, impala, baboons and etc. I highly recommend to take a sunrise horse riding.

    My second visit here. Wonderfully peaceful on a Monday morning. A great hike with a moderate climb. I found it a lot easier the second time round. The views from the top are breathtaking

    I went to the rock paintings with Samuel. We met at Dedza Pottery and went straight to the rock areas. The roads to get there is not so easy to find, therefore I really recommend to go with a guide. Samuel is really kind and friendly. He took me to 2 rock areas and both were very interesting. On the way we stopped twice to appreciate really amazing views.

    Keep in mind that the rock area is a bit far. Most of the time you'll be on the road. But if you like these kind of interesting places like that, I'll enjoy these ones.

    Samuel is very honest and doesn't take advantage of the foreigners. He charges a fair price.
    Therefore, I recommend him. +265995946889

    PS: He does not work for Dedza Pottery Lodge anymore. If want to go, book directly with him because lodges are usually way more expensive.

    If you spend any time on Likoma you must visit the cathedral and clamber up the narrow steps and over the bells to get to the roof of the bell tower. Great views and an adventure.

    Must visit place to know the cultures of Malawi & the damage done by Christian Missionaries. Still promoting Christianity. You don't see this with other religions. Please leave Africa to believe what they believed 🙏🙏🙏

    Beautiful place. Must stay at least a day.

    I visited this church for a Sunday Worship Service and was mesmerized by the beautiful architecture of the church and the rich history of this place. Definately a nice place for worship when you are in Blantyre which gives you a combination of worship and tourism experience
