Local life in Malawi

Well, there were no game drives in Malawi but there were an awful lot of truly wonderful experiences none the less with the locals. We went on many village walks, met witch doctors, toured a local school and attended a local church service. Malawi was very interesting.

Some of the campsites where we camped along Lake Malawi and their beaches!

Our visit to the local witch doctor... he danced for us, showed us his potions (love potion #9 and viagra were both mentioned) and then we posed with his family.

Scenes from our village walk at Kande beach. Women cutting up casaba root, our visit to the local school, women and children dancing (getting ready for x-mas), Pierrette (a friend from our overland trek) dancing with the kids, some cute kids posing for us and when we attended a local church service!
