 Omario Omar Busuttil Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 565 days ago, February 19th 2007 | Hi all. | I am going to produce a television programme to be aired on a Maltese TV channel and possibly on other foiregn channels. We are planing to visit the following countries: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Madagascar, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and South Africa. Can anyone suggest any contacts who might be interested in helping us for the production of this programme? Also can you suggest what are the best attractions in the above mentioned countries and suggest anything else in other neighbouring countries of the ones mentioned above? Thanks and happy travel to all..

A visit to the Viphya Plateau is a must, and the old mission town of Livingstonia is worth it, if even just for the views. Mt. Mulanje is spectacular, as are the tea plantations around it, and Liwonde National Park and the Shire River are very beautiful. For villages and towns and culture, I'd visit Mzuzu, Nkhata Bay, Nkhotakota, Lilongwe (just for the EU building!), Ruarwe (on the lake north of Nkhata Bay) and Mulanje town. As for contacts, I suppose you should contact Television Malawi - tvmalawi@sdnp.org.mw and the guy who organises Lake of Stars - Harry - should know about flights, contracts etc.: umunthu@eomw.net But on your tour you have to visit Zimbabwe - a country everyone wants to know about - and Angola - one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

I've travelled over most of Kenya and a fair share of Uganda. I would be glad to be part of the production team (share this part of the world with the rest) - infor on the best attractions, travel/road transport, cultural liaison and translator/interpreter, still photographer and maybe a little on the video side. I would also be happy to do the web part (if any) as needed - uploads, formating, the works. Anyway I can assist and contribute. Please feel free to contact me. Mwangi Kabiru. Kenya.

A good place to base yourdelf is either riverside campsite or the lutheran centre in town. Iringa is a good place to take a break as we are on the main road south and also the gateway to one of Africa's undiscovered gems ruaha national park which is only 2 hours drive from us. Also Isimilia stone age site is just outside town, which is one of the best stone age sites in the world. We have had a couple of film crews come past who have not intended to film with us but ended up satying for a few days making documnetaries on Neema crafts. check out http://www.vimeo.com/211868 http://artinafrica.blogspot.com/2007/12/day-72-iringa.html http://www.vimeo.com/322185 http://www.vimeo.com/322277 these can give you an idea of what you will find when you visit us as well as fabulous ice cream, cakes coffee and paninis in our cafe run entirely by the deaf | do get in touchif interested <snip> Andy [Edited: 12:12 - Jo Trouble - Please contact via TravelBlog profile page] SA GUIDE Mark September Post Count: 4 Msg: #8 174 days ago, March 17th 2008 | Hi Omario, what kind of help are you looking for?
