When to Visit Malawi?
The best time to travel is during the dry season, from May to October. Wildlife viewing is more consistent, and the weather is mild. Conditions at the lake are also calm during this period.
The green season, from November to April, brings more rain and fewer visitors. Some areas may be harder to access.
Lake Malawi
Lake Malawi is the centre of most journeys. The water is calm and clear, with long stretches of quiet shoreline. Lodges are set directly on the beach, offering easy access to the lake and a relaxed pace throughout your stay.
Likoma Island
Likoma Island sits within the lake and is one of the most refined areas to stay. It offers privacy, well-run lodges, and a slower rhythm. It works well for couples or as the final part of a longer itinerary.
Liwonde National Park
Liwonde National Park is one of the main safari areas in Malawi. It is known for elephants, hippos, and river-based wildlife viewing along the Shire River. The park is accessible and easy to combine with the lake.
Majete Wildlife Reserve
Majete Wildlife Reserve offers a more structured safari setting. Wildlife populations are well managed, and the reserve supports a range of species including the Big Five. Lodges here are small and focused on a private experience.
How to Plan Your Malawi Trip
Malawi is straightforward to plan with the right structure. Transfers between the lake and safari areas need to be timed correctly, and lodge selection plays an important role in the overall experience.
I plan each trip based on first-hand experience, selecting the right combination of locations and ensuring travel between them runs smoothly.
