Holidays in Zomba

When chucking a sickie becomes your new norm, it's time to ditch the corporate cubicle and say hello to Zomba!

It's situated 230 kilometres to the southeast of the nation's capital, Lilongwe.

The soft sounds of nature await you at Liwonde National Park. It lies just 40 kilometres away, so you needn't be stuck inside your car all day. Lake Chilwa, 45 kilometres away, is another popular choice.

For a nice spot to sit down and read a novel, you can't beat Emperor's View.

How about stopping by the University of Malawi? It's an awesome way to while away some time.

Want to venture outwards a little? Liwonde is 40 kilometres to the north of Zomba and Blantyre is 55 kilometres to the southwest. Get in the car and discover what's going on out there!

For something more energetic, you could look into the region's mountain biking options. Or perhaps mountain climbing is more your thing? Whatever you choose, you're bound to have a great time.

Let someone else handle all the planning and join like-minded people on guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris.

Step off dry land and see Malawi from another perspective. With a number of sensational activities like swimming and snorkeling, it's the ideal playground for water enthusiasts.

'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' according to George Bernard Shaw, but add travel to the mix and it's a marriage made in heaven. You're invited to indulge in your two loves by eating and drinking your way around Malawi.

Corn and potato are some typical ingredients used in many dishes here. If you don't have an appetite for them already, you might by the end of your holiday!

When in Zomba, dine like a local. That means tucking into a meal of nthochi (bread) or biltong (jerky like beef), two of the area's classic dishes.

Dinner isn't complete without dessert, so don't worry about calorie counting for a while and tuck into one of the best after-dinner treats, nthochi (banana bread).

On the rocks or neat — the bartender will know the nicest way to have Gold Label brandy. When the night calls for something a bit stronger, this tipple does the trick!

What better way to learn about a place than by being there during a day of national celebration? There'll be loads of festivities planned for Republic Day on the 6th of July.

Time spent in the charming Malawi region is an extraordinary experience, and chances are that it will have touched you with its magic. But alas, there must come a time to say goodbye.

Making it to your flight on time can sometimes be an ordeal. That said, you should be right if you're well prepared. The nearest terminal, Chileka International Airport (BLZ), is 50 kilometres to the southwest.

The staff was very excellent, friendly, and approachable. My only complaint, which ..."
