Malawi Travel Guide

Malawi flights touch down in an Africa of sleepy fishing villages and wildlife-packed national parks. Begin a holiday to Malawi by exploring capital Lilongwe, home to gleaming malls, a tobacco auction floor and the Old Town's bustling markets. Airline tickets to Malawi take travellers south to Liwonde National Park, where hippos and crocodiles laze by the Shire River. Hike mist-enshrouded Mount Mulanje and explore Blantyre's 19th-century Mandala House. Lake Malawi is Africa's third largest lake, filled with hungry fish eagles. Go scuba diving at Nkhata Bay, or bask on Cape Maclear's golden beaches. Further north, a holiday to Malawi reveals the orchid-strewn Nyika Plateau with cave paintings at Fingira Rock and close encounters with zebra, antelope and leopard.

Flights to Malawi promise new culinary experiences. Sample nsima (cassava porridge) with fresh tilapia on the banks of Lake Malawi. A city break means world flavours, from Indian curries to Chinese noodles in Lilongwe and Blantyre. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Malawi. Book airline tickets to experience top events, from African rhythms at October's Lake of Stars Festival to the ritual Gule Wamkulu dances at Malawi Republic Day in July.
