Nestled quietly in southeastern Africa, Malawi is a hidden gem, a landlocked country that was once known as Nyasaland during British rule. Gaining independence in 1964, it has since grown into a thriving democratic republic, with its welcoming citizens renowned for their friendliness. The country’s tapestry is woven with stories of its indigenous people, the Chewa, and the history of political evolution from the British protectorate years to the current Republic of Malawi, under the leadership of President Lazarus Chakwera.

Yet despite the rich history, culture, and warmth of its locals, it’s the natural allure that first comes to mind when one talks about Malawi. The country is home to a variety of climatic and regional variations, with magnificent preserves of unspoiled wildlife and the bewitching Lake Malawi, each offering a different kind of adventure to thrill-seekers. Indeed, this nation of varied landscapes ensures something for all types of travellers, from history enthusiasts to wildlife explorers.

When to visit Malawi

Plan your journey to experience the best of Malawi by travelling in the dry season between May and October, when the balmy weather offers perfect temperatures ranging from 18°C to 33°C. These sun-kissed days turn into fresh, cool evenings, ideal for taking in the stunning landscapes that the country has to offer. Bird watchers will especially find delight in a January visit, when migratory birds from the Northern Hemisphere flock to Malawi’s diverse habitats.

That said, Malawi's varied landscapes result in significant regional variations in the weather, with warmer temperatures along the azure lake shore, and cooler climes in the highlands. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Malawi’s warm heart ensures a most spectacular holiday experience through all seasons.
