This new eighth edition of Bradt's Malawi remains the only standalone
practical guidebook to this magical East African destination, long known
as the 'warm heart of Africa' (and the first country outside Denmark to
have a Carlsberg brewery). Malawi is a small country with a big lake -
accounting for around a third of its territory - and a big
welcome.Written by Philip Briggs, arguably the world's most experienced
guidebook author, this new edition benefits from a thorough country-wide
update of all the practical information, with the addition of
significant new game park accommodation. Dedicated chapters on
background information, health and flora and fauna are complemented by a
19-chapter breakdown of the country and 37 maps, making this an ideal
companion for backpackers, over-landers, wildlife spotters, birdwatchers
and other outdoor enthusiasts.Included in the guide are the many
outstanding adventure opportunities: kayaking on the vast lake amongst
dug-out canoes; hikes from tea estates up to the heights Mount Mulanje;
and watching the 'big five' animals in wonderful natural surroundings.
There's also a resurgent music scene, intriguing monuments built by
former colonisers and compelling village culture to discover. With the
reintroduction of species including lions - and the recent translocation
of large numbers of elephants to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve - Malawi is
a wildlife destination to savour.From luxury camps to local guesthouses,
from rhino trekking to cycle tours and from crafts to cultural tourism,
Bradt's Malawi covers every aspect of your trip.
