Commonly Asked Questions about Malawi

Does visiting Malawi require a visa?
The citizenship listed on your passport will determine whether you need a visa or not. For example, British nationals visiting the country for a brief period of time do not need a visa. Those citizens of New Zealand, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Schengen member states are among the other nations that require a visa to enter Malawi; they should obtain one before traveling there or at the airports. The Malawian government requires payment of a 75 USD charge in order to grant a short visitor’s visa.

For a brief trip to Malawi, British nationals are exempt from the visa requirement. However, starting from October 1, 2015, the Malawian government has declared its intention to implement a visa regime for British tourists (as well as citizens of other nations that charge a visa fee for Malawian nationals). This also applies to bearers of Spanish passports. It is your responsibility to obtain a visa in advance. For further information, please contact the Malawian high commission that is closest to you.

Your passport needs to have two (2) blank pages and be valid for at least six (6) months from the date you leave Malawi.

Is travel insurance required when visiting Malawi?
Getting comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical repatriation, trip cancellation, and trip curtailment for your safari in Africa is strongly advised. In this manner, you won’t have to worry about losing money if you have to postpone your vacation or even cancel it before you go due to illness. Make sure it covers the many safari activities you will be participating in as well as your luggage in the event of loss or damage.

When is the ideal time of year to travel to Malawi?
Although Malawi is regarded as one of Africa’s year-round travel destinations, the ideal time of year to visit is seen to be during the dry season, which lasts from late April until the beginning of November. The majority of the area is dry at this time of year, and the little vegetation allows for unobstructed views of the wildlife.

In the various regions of the nation, it is the ideal time to watch games. We strongly advise booking your safari at least four (4) months in advance if you are traveling during this time of year, as it is also regarded as the busiest travel season and the time when the nation receives the greatest number of international vacationers. However, because most accommodations are expensive during this season, budget tourists are discouraged from going.

How is the climate in Malawi?

The three main seasons of Malawi are the hot and dry, the hot and wet, and the cool and dry. The country has a sub-tropical climate.

The Season of Cool Dryness:

With a few windy spells in July, the most of the days are cool and dry during this July–August period. There are a lot of tourists around this period, which is regarded as a favorable time to visit Malawi. Carrying a warm jacket or sweater for the chilly evenings and early mornings is a good travel tip, especially if you’re going on an early morning game drive.

The Season of Hot Dryness:

This lasts from August until mid-November. By September, the heat starts to build up and the sporadic windstorms have stopped. In Malawi, this is an excellent time to go on safari. The majority of the vegetation is sunburned, and since most of the water holes have dried up and the animals only gather in large numbers around the few permanent water holes that remain, you will be able to see wildlife in the national parks during this time of year.

The greatest time of year to visit Lake Malawi is when the water is calm, transparent, and at a comfortable temperature.

The hot, rainy season

This starts in late November and lasts until April, during which time the nation experiences multiple storms. The risk of contracting malaria is increased by the general wetness, the large number of female Anopheles mosquitoes, and the impassability of many roads in rural places. Since many lodging options can be closed due to poor access road conditions, it is crucial that you first ensure that your selected lodging option is open if you intend to travel at this time of year.

Before traveling to Malawi, do I need to get any vaccinations?

It is recommended that all visitors to Malawi consult the Malawian high commission in their home country to obtain the most recent health advice prior to their trip. Nevertheless, you should stay current on a variety of vaccinations, including those for polio, tetanus, diphtheria, varicella, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, and typhoid.

Is Malawi a country with a high risk of malaria?
Indeed, there are a lot of female Anopheles mosquitoes that spread malaria, particularly during the rainy season. Therefore, it is best to avoid traveling during this time if at all feasible. It is strongly recommended that you see your doctor in your home country before traveling to Malawi so that he can prescribe a malaria prophylactic.

Some advice on preventing malaria in Malawi is provided below.

Sleep behind a treated mosquito net, which is something that most hotels offer.
As directed by your physician, take your malaria prophylactic.
Apply insect repellant.
To prevent mosquito bites, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, especially at night.
What time zone does Malawi fall under?

Like the majority of southern African nations, Malawi is in the GMT + 2 hour time zone.

Which plugs are used in Malawi, and what is the power current?

Malawi utilizes the common three-pin rectangular plus and is powered by 230 volts at 50 Hz. Although most hotels provide these, we strongly advise you to bring your own adapters.

Make sure your personal electrical devices, such as hair dryers and flat irons, are dual voltage before you bring them to Malawi, and remember to adjust the voltage when you are there.

Is it possible for me to use my cell phone in Malawi?

Although it is not available everywhere, mobile phone networks are currently available in the majority of Malawi. The most widely used cell phone service, GSM 900, has the best network coverage in the majority of the nation and is fortunately compatible with most international cell phone providers.

Does Malawi have internet connectivity?
Indeed, the vast majority of large hotels and resorts provide internet access on their grounds, and you will find that there are numerous internet cafés in large towns where you may connect with your family members back home.

Malawi is a landlocked nation in Southeast Africa that shares borders with Mozambique to the west, south, and southwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Zambia to the west.

Malawi’s capital and largest city is Lilongwe. The city is situated in the center of Malawi, close to the borders of Zambia and Mozambique. It is separated into two parts: the New City, which has more modern buildings, restaurants, bus stations, markets, and cafes, and the Old City, which is a livelier town with embassies, government buildings, hotels, and various offices. Lilongwe has a population of one million or more, but it is smaller than that of Blantyre, the nation’s commercial hub.

Lilongwe has been around for a long time. It began as a small fishing village on the banks of the Lilongwe River and continued to grow throughout British colonial authority. In 1947, it was officially acknowledged as a town, and the name was taken from the Lilongwe River.

Because Lilongwe is located on a plateau in central Malawi, it is 1,050 meters above sea level. There are two distinct seasons in Lilongwe: the long dry season, which lasts from December to March, and the cooler months of June and July. Because of its elevation, the city has a cooler climate.
