9 Best Places To Visit In Malawi
Malawi has been rightfully dubbed the “Warm Heart of Africa”, for several reasons. It’s not just about the hot climate, but also the warm and welcoming people and the many attractions the country has to offer its visitors. Whether its sun, sand and glistening water at Lake Malawi, magnificent mountain scenery or safaris through wildlife reserves, Malawi is one of the best African countries to visit. You must try the local food to get the full experience, and I'd love to dig into some nsima, a maize porridge, any day. Malawi offers a selection of national parks where all kinds of wildlife can be seen, as well as the opportunity for hiking, mountain biking and mountain climbing. The lakes and rivers of the country offer the opportunity for many types of water sports and fishing, as well as perfect picnic spots. There are plenty of beach resorts as well. Check out the best places to visit in Malawi, all within reasonably easy reach of the major cities, for a fun holiday. **Upcoming event**: - **Zomba City Festival**: This festival is celebrated each year on Labour Day and offers live music, fashion displays, poetry events, dance shows, and more. As its name suggests, the festival is held in Zomba city, and I wouldn't miss the festival for anything if I wind up here in May!
Food To Try
Best Local Food To Try On A Trip To Malawi
Malawi is well known as being “The Warm Heart of Africa” and that statement doesn’t only apply to the hot and sunny weather of this sub-tropical country. Malawian locals themselves are very warm and friendly too. Unlike many other "westernized" African countries, Malawi is Africa in the raw, with its wildlife reserves, tea plantations, gorgeous scenery and beautiful lake. Wherever possible, the locals grow their own maize (sweetcorn), which is either cooked whole over the fire or ground into maize flour. They also cultivate their own fresh vegetables to keep meals affordable, while mixing in meat and fresh Lake Malawi fish, bought at the local markets. Visitors can try out the dishes on the roadside, at the local markets or in a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurants and eateries of Malawi's cities and towns. Also worth nothing is the fresh bananas and papayas, hawked by vendors in the markets at extremely affordable prices. Experience Malawi's charming and smile-filled welcome, while giving their cuisine a taste test or two. Whether it’s the catch of the day from Lake Malawi, a tasty meat and vegetable stew, or a creamy and delicious breakfast porridge, the following are five examples of the traditional food of Malawi, plus an introduction to local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Each dish should be given a try while on holiday in this landlocked, southeastern Africa destination.
