Mountain Hikes Blog

We organise hiking breaks, yoga breaks, treks and tours in the UK and Europe. The emphasis is on organising trips where people can enjoy great scenery, great activities and great company in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. As well as hiking we have a huge fondness for tea and cake, so we always end each walk with plenty of tea and homemade cake, by Yen. This blog is a mixture of Mountain Hikes activities and some of our own adventures too. Our main website page is at www.mountainhikes.co.uk.

Malawi Expedition July 2014

Malawi Expedition - July 2014

I returned from Malawi on Sunday after an amazing 21 day trip. We had a few challenges along the way including a 14 hour delay at Lusaka on the way out, 4 bags which turned up 24 hours later and a few tummy upsets. But met some amazing people and had some great experiences during the trip, so this will be a fairly abbreviated summary of some of the key moments.

Arriving in Lilongwe

Our first night camp site before heading off to the project site.

Matapila School House Project

Mount Mulanje

After Matapila we headed south past Blantyre, to Mount Mulanje for a 3 day trek.

Lake Malawi and Liwonde National Park

For the last two stages of the trip we stopped off at Cape Maclear for a Kayak trip to Domwe Island on Lake Malawi and then headed to Liwonde Wild life park for the final leg of the trip.
