Product Description

Product Description

An introduction for all visitors to this explorable, affordable and tranquil African country, whether discovering little-visited mountains, forests and game reserves or relaxing by the main attraction, Lake Malawi. Wildlife and bird identification, conservation areas, game and forest reserves and national parks up and down the lake are all covered in depth. In common with the rest of southern Africa, Malawi is suffering from the effects of drought. Tourists will see little of the much-publicised famine, but the warm welcome they receive is a reminder of how much the country needs its foreign visitors. This guide covers everything a visitor should need to know, from overland routes into and around Malawi, local travel networks, maps and town plans, to wildlife-viewing opportunities and accommodation - from simple rest houses to luxurious game lodges. It is highly focused on independent travellers' needs, including health and safety and local language.

4.0 out of 5 stars Visit malawi, 2 Sep 2008
By J. Gallier - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good guide book with added bonus of helping the traveller escape the LP hordes. Having lived in Malawi I found it better than most other guide books covering most places I visited. All in all perfect for exploring a fabulous country and meeting it's friendly people.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gold Mine of Information!, 29 Dec 2008
By Laszlo Wagner (Hungary) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Malawi is a small country by African standards, and has no high-profile star attractions.
Few tourists visit more places than some beach resorts along the shores of its huge lake.

Considering the above, the wealth of info on potential destinations included in this book is stunning.
Not only is pretty much every sizeable town described, so are plenty of rural areas, notably obscure forest reserves, marshes and small lakes.
The info on the country's wildlife and national parks is truly in-depth and very interesting. So is the background information on culture and history. Very good list of bokks recommended for further reading at the back.

Also, all the practical details (with prices) on accommodation and transport options you might find in better-known series like Lonely Planet (which no longer publishes a separate Malawi guide).

In fact, the only disadvantage of this book might just be that with all the recommendations, it might make you spend much longer in Malawi than you had originally planned! ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new guide to Malawi, 5 Jul 2009
By Mr. D. E. Grainger (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fantastic to have a more up to date guide book, written in 2006 and so good to have a recent book. I particularly enjoyed the detail added by people living and working in Malawi as this puts some perspective into the other details in the guide. The chapter on health is especially useful for writing school risk assessments!!
