Hi my name is Awet and I currently live in Malawi ''THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA'' since almost 3 years. I would like to take you on an adventures road trip through Malawi which has a lot to offer. This road trip is for people who like to explore countries that are not on the regular tourist map. We start off with the capital Lilongwe and explore this cozy city before starting our road trip the next day. We will head to Lake Malawi which is the 5th largest fresh water lake in the world. You can expect beautiful scenery on the road trip due to the rainy season (which is about to end) it's all green and lush. A good part will be driving close to the lake and experiencing the way of life of a traditional Malawians on the coast. What's included: - Accommodation (Private Room) - Car Rental - Entry to Liwonde National Park We can decide on the spot for food and other extra costs and split them later during the trip. The price for food per person for everyday approximately would be 15-30 euros if we are reasonable, but there is a bit of everything in Malawi. Are you in for a Malawi adventure? Feel free to let me know by message any questions or arrangement you might need.
