Entering Malawi is absolutely charming from the landscape point of view. There is a powerful sense of pure nature all over, along the dusty and disconnected roads. At the same time there is a feeling of having left the touristy heart of Africa in Vic falls and having entered one of least developed countries in the world and one of the poorest in Africa. Here people live mainly of agriculture and small, local, family-owned activities. The most unexpected feature of the country is the immense Lake Malawi and its sandy beaches. We stop for two nights at Kande beach, a campsite where we, for a few dollars, can upgrade to suites (ie. beach huts) just on the beach (see picture!). It’s fantastic!
