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.
