Travel to Malawi – Episode 216

John Reid

Just finished listening to your podcast on Malawi after just discovering your site. Malawi was the first country outside of South Africa that I had ever visited. I have an aunt who has lived in Malawi for the last 10 years who put together my itenery.

My favorite part of the trip was definately staying on the small island run by Kayak Africa. In the year that we went, it was voted as one of the most romatic island escapes in the world. It was really worth visiting. For a photographer, it is a perfect opportunity to capture Fish Eagles snatching up fish from the water.

Regarding wildlife, we visited a Liwonde National Park that was packed with wildlife (including elephants, hippoes and so on). The park does not allow any private traveling, so all excursions through the park are led by a guide either on foot, by off road trucks or on a boat.

Some photos of our trip can be found at http://www.catchlightuk.com/portfolio/places.html. Unfortunately we lost our images from the Kayak Africa island…

John, I love your pictures, especially the dugout canoes on the shore of the lake.

The characters on the pink bus are Japanese. It probably is from Japan.

Thanks, I guess I had not looked closely at the picture.
