The Warm Heart of Africa...

         As the days tick by, and the departure date draws nearer, my excitement level is consistently building… Especially when I start to read more about the country and reminisce about our last trip there!
        For those of you who have google-ed Malawi and know only that it is a very underdeveloped country in South Eastern Africa, here are some excerpts from the introduction to Bradt’s Travel Guide:

(Pictures are from Brit and I’s last visit!)

“Enclosed by sheer mountains and edged by seemingly endless palm-fringed sandy beaches, Lake Malawi is the most beautiful of Africa’s great lakes.”

“The people of Malawi exude a warmth friendliness that make most visitors feel instantly at home. Malawi may well be the most laid back nation on earth.”

“Malawi would lie near the top of any list of African countries I’d recommend to a nervous novice traveller.”

“Perhaps the greatest of Malawi’s attractions is a low-key charm that most visitors find thoroughly addictive. Many travellers fly into Africa barely aware that Malawi exists; by the time they return home, a high proportion have come to regard it as their favourite African country.”
(Myself included!! )

“Whether you’re content to relax at the lake or prefer actively to explore little-visited mountains, forests and game reserves, it is difficult to think of a more agreeable place for easy, unstructured travel than Malawi.”

Soooo.... What are you waiting for then?  Come visit already!! ;)
