Malawi

Malawi, with its beautiful lake and friendly people, is a unique place in Africa. Sometimes heralded as ‘Africa for beginners,’ the relative ease of travel in Malawi, combined with its spectacular scenery, makes it an enticing destination, and a perfect place to start a trip to Africa. Highlights include Lake Malawi, Mount Mulnaje and Nyika National Park, but you won’t fully appreciate Malawi until you take the time to visit a few villages and spend some time with its friendly people.

What’s the difference?

Communities are any tourism/volunteer initiatives that are owned and run by the community members. Organisations are not-for-profits that work with communities to promote their initiatives and is a good place to look for volunteering opportunities. Travel agencies are ethical for-profits that work with communities to promote their programs and tours worldwide.
