HOW TO TRAVEL AFRICA
TOURS vs LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT
We were totally unsure about how to travel Africa as we were worried about how dangerous it would actually be. We didn't really want to do a tour but we wondered whether it would be the safest option. Plus we wouldn't have to figure out how to get to places because it didn't seem as easy as travelling around other continents.
We decided to wait it out and suss the vibe when we arrived. After a 60 hour journey across multiple countries, we arrived in Mombassa in Kenya. From there, we went to a beautiful town called Lamu on the Kenya and Somalia boarder which is when we decided what would be our best option.
Find out what we did and how we travelled through 8 countries around Africa from Kenya down to South Africa.
MALAWI
THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA
We had always heard good things about Malawi but we had no idea how amazing it would truely be for us. Known as the warm heart of Africa for it's super friendly people, we couldn't believe how nice everyone is.
Whilst a fifth of the country is taken up by the incredible fresh water lake called Lake Malawi, you often forget it's a lake as it looks more like the ocean. Expect turquoise waters, mind blowing beaches and islands, along with tea plantations, wildlife safaris and mountains to explore. There is so much going on, it would be difficult not to love Malawi.
