Climate

• Having a tropical climate, the temperature fluctuations in Malawi are mainly determined by altitude. The dry season typically runs from May to October, with May to August experiencing slightly cooler temperatures. The rainy season is typically from November to April, with the heaviest rains falling between December and February. 
• Malawi is a year-round destination, and the most popular time to visit is during the dry season. The rainy season is best for birdwatchers, and the landscape is strikingly lush and green.

Language & Currency

• English and Chichewa are the official languages in Malawi. Malawi is a multilingual country with around 9 languages of Bantu origin.
• The local currency is the Malawi kwacha, which divides into 100 tambalas. US dollars are often accepted; local currency is best for shopping and tipping. Access to cash machines is available in most major towns, but frequent power cuts can be problematic. Exchanging currency can be done in banks and foreign exchange bureaus 

Visa & Access

• Many foreign nationals will require a visa for entry to Malawi. Most travellers from SADC countries and COMESA countries are visa-exempt. Please check with your local Malawian Embassy or our travel team for further information. Tourist visas can often be obtained, on arrival, at most ports of entry. The Malawian government has introduced an online ‘e-visa’ application system for obtaining tourist visas in advance of travel.
• Malawi has two international airports; Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe (LLW) and Chileka International Airport in Blantyre (BLZ). 

Health

• At least 6-8 weeks before departure, please visit your local health care provider or travel clinic for any vaccination requirements and to discuss any other potential health risks, such as malaria (where applicable). All travellers should ensure they have a comprehensive travel insurance policy in place.
