    • Favorite Thing: At the Zomba Plateau we walked to the forestry campsite and the trout ponds.
    On the road near the trout ponds a group of local women beckoned us and yelled at us and then they started to run in our direction.
    They were really anxious to meet us.
    So we waited and walked in their direction.

    • Fondest Memory: It was really nice to meet these women. When they had reached us they started to sing and to dance.
    So I danced together with them and they did appreciate it.
    We enjoyed both to dance that way and laughed a lot.
    A was a really nice encounter and experience.

    • Favorite Thing: The women at the Zomba Plateau liked to show me how to dance. Especially one was a very good dancer, she danced while the others sung and clapped hands.
    After we danced together again.

    • Favorite Thing: After the singing and the dancing the women asked me to take more pictures of them.
    Especially the mothers carrying their child on their back liked it to be photographed with their child.

    Fondest Memory: Everywhere in Malawi the people are very friendly and was it rather easy to meet them.
    But the spontaneous meeting with the local women at the Zomba Plateau was the best.

    General Tips: Shire River near Lengwe NP

    • Favorite Thing: On our way from the Lengwe National Park in the south back to Blantyre we drove along the Shire River.
    It was a very scenic route. We saw also 5 crocodiles and 40 hippos on a island and in the water of the river.
    So not only in the park, but also outside you have to watch out to see the animals.

    • Favorite Thing: On our way back from the Lengwe National Park to Blantyre we saw a lot of small villages scattered between the trees along the road.
    In the villages we saw a mix of round huts with thatched roofs and square concrete buildings.
    The children in the villages were always curious to see us, when we passed. They mostly waved and beckoned.

     'Africa for beginners' ... wonderful way to describe Malawi ... lovely people pictures, Lake Malawi, Zomba and Mulanje look quite unreal. Great personal touch to your pages Ali ... Thanks for sharing.    		acemj Sun Jan 2, 2005 15:29 UTC
     I can tell you felt at home here. The fresh fish barbecue and the ride along the Shire River look great and your interactions with the people seems to be most satisfying.
