Why Malawi?

Back in 1998 Lake of Stars founder Will Jameson went to Malawi. He came back to the UK and wanted to find a way to open people's eyes to the quality of Malawian arts, people and tourism destinations.

What do I need to travel to Malawi?

You don’t need a Visa if you are a UK passport holder – but it is always advisable to consult your travel agent. Also be sure to consult your GP about jabs. Pack sun cream and swimmers.  And check out our Travel Advice page for more information.
