There’s more to Malawi than its lake. This fifth edition of the Bradt guide explores the country’s rolling plateaux and massifs, and its five national parks and four game reserves. Adventurers, meanwhile, can discover how to kayak off Cape Maclear, hike up Mount Mulanje or cross the wildlife-rich Nyika Plateau on horseback. The book covers the country’s dynamic music scene, and uncovers little-visited gems such as Dedza and Elephant Marsh. And if visitors must find a luxury lodge on Lake Malawi’s palm-fringed shore on whose deck to sip their sundowners well, this book tells them how to pull that off, too. [More..] | |

He thought it would take him a year it took him over two. At the end of 2005, he cycled back into Cape Town, 14kg lighter, having covered 36,500 km through 34 countries.
