When to go

Malawi has a subtropical climate, with warm temperatures year-round and distinct wet and dry seasons influencing the best times to visit.

The dry season from May to October is ideal for wildlife safaris, hiking, and exploring Lake Malawi. Trails are easier to navigate, and the scenery is clear and vibrant.

The rainy season from November to April brings lush landscapes, flowing rivers, and thriving birdlife, though some roads and trails may be slippery or inaccessible.

The shoulder months of April–May and October–November offer fewer crowds and stunning scenery, perfect for a more tranquil experience.

What to Do

Sail or kayak on the turquoise waters of Lake Malawi, Africa’s third-largest lake, or relax on its sandy beaches.

Hike the Mulanje Massif, Malawi’s tallest mountain, for breathtaking views and challenging trails.

Go on safari in Liwonde or Majete National Parks to spot elephants, hippos, lions, and a wide variety of birds.

Discover Malawi’s rich culture through local markets, traditional dances, and village visits.

Take scenic drives through rolling highlands or explore forest reserves like Nyika Plateau, home to unique wildlife and stunning landscapes.

Experience freshwater adventures, from snorkeling and diving in Lake Malawi to canoeing along its pristine shores.

Languages spoken: English, Chichewa, Chiyao & other local languages
