Top Cities in Malawi

My visit to Malawi was too brief, only a couple of days, and I had no time to sightsee. The Blantyre and Kamaze area are surrounded by mountains. I wish I could have seen more of the countryside. I loved this quaint little grocery store on the side of the highway.

"I spent an amazing six nights at Baobab backpackers lodge. It definitely felt like home and I was genuinely sad to leave. Aron (the owner) made sure I had everything I needed, recommended places to go and organised a return private taxi service (at a very reasonable rate) for me to go hiking at Michiru Nature Sanctuary (highly recommend!).

Our only gripe would be the WiFi which most of the time was not very strong. "

"Overall a good experience, but I expected more for the price based on the listing. Wanted to charge me extra for the second person even though I booked for two. I booked for the fridge in the room for my medicine and it was broken and I had to fight to get assistance. "

The best place to stay on the lakeside

"I loved this little place, thought it was the prettiest and most charming along the beach. Having a bar and restaurant onsite was definitely a bonus.

Overall excellent value, so much so that we thought we were undercharged for all our food and drink!"
