Bradt Travel Guide Malawi

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.

This fifth edition of Philip Briggs’s acclaimed Malawi: The Bradt Travel Guide takes visitors not just to the country’s famous lake, but to its lesser-known gems. It explores Malawi’s wildlife reserves, advises readers on where to hike, kayak and horseback ride, and investigates the country’s dynamic music scene.

Philip Briggs has written and co-authored ten Bradt African travel guides, and has contributed to numerous other books, travel and wildlife magazines.
