What is the common way to get there, travelling from london e.g.? Many thanks, Idan irish22022 michael irish Post Count: 1 Msg: #2 57 days ago, August 19th 2008 | Hey Idan, | 4 Weeks in Malawi will be enough. I'm not sure what exactly you'll be doing, but I stayed in Lilongwe (the capital) for several weeks. I was working on a documentary so I kept pretty busy, but on my off days we would often drive to Lake Malawi and spend some time there. Sangha Bay is absolutely gorgeous, we camped but there's also a resort option. The lake is stunning. You'll see your fair share of small villages and farms, but to be honest there are very few "national treasures" there. The great thing about Zambia is you get Vic Falls and what not, Malawi is very third world, with very few things for the average tourist to do. I would say Malawi is a beautiful place to and volunteer, but for the average backpacker - a week or two should be fine. You could spend more time in other countries. As far as travel goes, I flew through Joburg but only because we shot in more countries then Malawi. Also, a great backpacking lodge in Lilongwe is "Mufasa's". The location is amazing, right next to a lot of markets; and the staff is very friendly and has great ideas for things to do. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! -Michael Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
