Malawi Travel Guide - Exploring Africa
Malawi Travel Guide - Exploring Africa
Malawi (Chichewa: Malaŵi) is a country in Africa, bordered by Mozambique to the south and east, Tanzania to the north, Zambia to the west. Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa, runs along most of its eastern border. It's often described as the Warm Heart of Africa, referring to the friendliness of the people.
Much of Malawi is plateau, often reaching to 1,000m (3,000 ft), and the temperature in these highlands is moderate, with the hottest period occurring during the autumn rainy season and the coolest and chilliest in winter. The hottest region in the country is the lower Shire River Valley well south of Blantyre. Temperatures along scenic Lake Malawi are generally warm, but with a cooling breeze, especially in the evenings. Winters (May till July) are dry. The rainy season begins in mid-October to early November and generally runs until March.
Malawi’s people are its greatest asset - friendly, welcoming, colourful and vibrant. It's impossible to visit and not become engaged with the people, but there are now opportunities to spend time in real villages (including staying overnight) for a first-hand experience of the cultures, traditions and daily life. This is an option pretty much everywhere in Malawi, and one well worth taking.
There’s also much to see of Malawi’s history, beginning with the pre-history remains of the Karonga district and the Stone Age rock paintings near Dedza. The Cultural & Museum Centre at Karonga is well worth a visit. Elsewhere, the colonial period is preserved in buildings dating from the David Livingstone era and the defeat of the Arab slave trade is well documented in the museums of Blantyre. Among other museums around the country are a Lake Museum at Mangochi, a mission museum at Livingstonia and a postal services museum near Zomba
Cities & Destinations of Malawi :
Lilongwe - the political capital of Malawi and seat of government
Blantyre - economic capital and largest city; Blantyre's a large and thriving city with an interesting downtown, decent nightlife and music, a range of hotels from the elegant to rest houses, and a vibrant street and market culture
Mzuzu - largest town in the Northern Region and a staging-post for transport to Tanzania
Karonga - quickly growing spurred on by the recent development of a uranium mine and a charming town, not far from the intriguing Misuku Hills and a short distance from Lake Malawi
Mangochi - medium-sized town, formerly known as Fort Johnston, at the southern end of Lake Malawi where it empties into the Shire River and a jumping-off point for the resorts and hostels up the coast of Lake Malawi, on the way to peninsular Cape Maclear
Monkey Bay - a popular large village as you head up the Lake Road from Mangochi toward Cape Maclear
Nkhata Bay - a rocky bay towards the north of the lake - check into one of the lodges and you could be here for a while.
Nkhotakota on the shores of Lake Malawi in the Central Region, is where the explorer David Livingston sat down with the Swahili Arab slave traders to attempt to negotiate an end to the slave trade. Nkhotakota was a slave entrepot, from which slaves were ferried across Lake Malawi to the eastern shore to resume their travel over land to what is now the Tanzanian coast. Nkhotakota is a compact and fascinating town, old in its way and true to the ethnic diversity of this region of Malawi. The place is renowned amongst the tourists for its unspoilt golden sandy beaches north of Nkhotakota. It is home to several small family-run resorts.
Zomba is the old colonial capital of Malawi and is noted for its British colonial architecture, the University of Malawi, and the remarkable Zomba Plateau which rises immediately west of the city.

Museum hoch 3 – Integration durch Interaktion
Migrationshintergrund? Alle auf der Welt lebenden Menschen sind Nachkommen von Auswanderern, die vor etwa 100.000 Jahren Afrika, die Wiege der Menschheit, verließen. Das neue Projekt „Museum3 – Integration durch Interaktion“, eine Kooperation zwischen dem Senckenberg Naturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main, dem Cultural & Museum Center im malawischen Karonga und dem Georgian National Museum in Tiflis, greift diese Tatsache auf. Es soll das Wissen um die gemeinsame Herkunft, das gemeinsame Erbe und die Anfänge der Kulturen den Museumsbesuchern näher bringen und die drei Museen sowie deren Besucher untereinander vernetzen und ins Gespräch bringen. Über die Crowdfunding-Initiative „KulturMut“ der Aventis Foundation sammeln die Projektpartner vom 12.10. bis 10.11. unter Spenden für die Realisierung des Vorhabens

Holly Morris travels to the heart of Central Africa to explore two countries which were forever changed by the legendary Scottish explorer Dr. David Livingstone and retraces two Holly at Victoria Fallsepic journeys that led to his most celebrated discoveries:Lake Malawi and the Victoria Falls.
Holly’s journey begins in Blantyre, named in honour of Livingstone’s birth place in Scotland. She travels by bus to Liwonde town and by bicycle-taxi to Liwonde National Park, the most beautiful park in Malawi and prime wildlife viewing destination in Africa. Following in his footsteps, Holly explores the Shire River in Liwonde National Park by boat, and encounters the same wildlife noted by Livingstone in his diaries: elephants, hippos, crocodiles and antelopes and the very same ancient baobab tree, mentioned in his journal, which to this day is still alive.
Guided by his books Holly reaches one of Africa’s secret wonders: Lake Malawi, where she dives along with Professor Mackay and learns more about the lake-s 600 – 1,000 endemic species.
After hitchhiking to Monkey Bay, our globe trekker takes the Ilala ferry across the lake to the beautiful Children selling mice on sticksand remote Likoma Island. Once there she visits the local witch doctor, before heading off toMfuwe in Zambia.
Heading north she explores the bustling and fast growing Lusaka, Zambia’s capital city, for a stroll around its vibrant market and a visit to the Wanga Manga Environmental Park to learn about conservation and release programmes of the wildlife brought to the centre having been rescued from the bush meat trade. She then visits Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, one of the largest and oldest sanctuaries in Africa, a safe haven for the highly endangered chimpanzees.
Finally Holly lands at Livingstone town near the Victoria Falls and visits the Livingstone Museum, gaining privileged access to its most treasured exhibits: some of Livingstone’sHolly at Victoria Falls personal letters and belongings as well as original notebooks and artefacts.
She then heads to the spectacular Victoria Falls, which are the largest waterfalls in the world and are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Holly braves the dangerous currents to take a dip in the Devil’s Pool right on the lip of the falls. Her feelings of wonder and exhilaration recall the words that Livingstone wrote in his journal inspired by the awe he felt in front of the extraordinary magnificence of the falls:
“Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight…”
For Holly too, the Victoria Falls, framed by spectacular rainbow, are a glimpse of heavenly splendour, providing a truly fitting climax to an amazing journey.

Mallawi Museum reopens three years after looting
(25 Sep 2016) LEAD IN:
Egypt's Minister of Antiquities has reopened the Mallawi Museum after it was looted in 2013.
Restorers spent two years restoring hundreds of damaged antiquities that were recovered from the thieves.
STORY-LINE:
The ceremonial cutting of the ribbon sends the world a clear message: the Mallawi Museum is open once again.
Egypt's Minister of Antiquities, Khaled El-Enany, is here to inaugurate the building after two years of painstaking restoration work.
It was looted in August 2013 during violence that followed the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi.
Thieves stole more than a thousand exhibits, leaving behind just those that were too heavy to move.
El-Enany says 656 artefacts have been recovered.
Some of them were in a bad condition, and Ministry of Antiquities restorers worked on their restoration, he says.
So now the corridors of the Mallawi Museum are again lined with ancient exhibits from Egypt's rich history.
It's a step welcomed by some of the country's leading historians.
For two years this was a painful place. It has been associated with the destruction of antiquities by terrorism, and with an attempt to obliterate the ancient Egyptian civilization, says Dr.Tarek Sayed Tawfeeq, general supervisor of Egypt Grand Museum.
But the message today is that Egyptians made a wonderful effort to rehabilitate the museum, to restore the monuments, and in record time the place has been reopened, to be a message of security and safety and a greeting to the whole world, and an invitation for all to visit Egypt.
The museum is located in the Minya governorate of Egypt.
