To take with you
Dress code
Malawi is a tropical African country. It is naturally warmer than in Europe. It is therefore not necessary to take your winter clothes with you. A jacket windbreaker is still necessary, just like pants and long sleeves in the evening, at least to protect you from mosquitoes.
â
However, the Zomba Plateau, Nyika Plateau and Mount Mulanje are at altitude. If you choose a circuit that passes, think about bringing big sweater, hat and scarf. They will be very useful to you.
â
If there is no specific dress-code, women wearing short shorts or mini-skirts will attract a disapproving look, even if no comment will be made. For a woman, showing her legs, as pretty as they are, is not in Malawi's culture.
â
Accessories
There is no electricity everywhere in Malawi. If you want to charge your phone, think of a solar charger or a power bank that you can charge in some lodges.
â
For your memories, think of your camera with one or more memory cards and possibly a spare battery charged .
â
A small flashlight could be useful in some places.
The house linen/ the sleeping
In lodge or hut, there is nothing to plan. The bedding is usually provided by the hotelier and there is no need to worry about their cleanliness.
â
Some lodges provide bath towels, but we advise you to bring your own. Our team will advise you on the type of bath towels to take.
â
In tent, we provide you the tent and the mattress. You will need to bring a sleeping bag adapted to the chosen tour temperatures and a pillow. Ask us when you book your tour..
