Malawi

The tourist brochures bill Malawi as the heart of Africa, and for once the hype is true. Malawi's ever changing landscape takes you from the top of lofty mountains, down steep escarpments, through woodland, farmland and empty grassland, to the shores of a magnificent lake. Nature lovers will adore the national parks and game reserves, mountain hiking, lake diving, and boating. Malawians tend to be extremely friendly towards travelers with a warm welcome. The dry season for Malawi is April to November. Great emphasis is placed on their handshakes, involving linked thumbs or fingers, or the left hand touching the right elbow which you'll pick up by observation, but these are reserved for informal occasions. A normal western handshake will do fine in most situations. If you decide to visit there try riding with zebras and antelopes across the rolling plateau of Nyika National Park, and taking a wildlife drive through Liwonde National Park to spot elephants, antelopes, hyenas and lions.
