Question 8

What popular events take place in Malawi?

Accepted Answer

Although Malawi is one of the least-travelled African countries, it's one of the best places to be if you're looking to enjoy a natural paradise without much intrusion. If you're looking at booking flights to Malawi, consider travelling during dates that coincide with popular events to make the most of your vacation. One of the most popular and well-known festivities happens towards the end of September, usually around the 27th, called the Lake of Stars Festival. Lake of Stars is a music festival renowned throughout the world, along the shores of Lake Malawi every year. The festival provides a unique platform to help artists showcase their art to an international audience. Previous international artists include Andy Cato, Basement Jaxx, Freshly Ground, The Noisettes, and The Maccabees. If you're interested in Malawi's cultural heritage, head to Blantyre during August to experience the Blantyre Arts Festival or head to Likoma during October to take part in the Likoma Festival of arts and culture. A couple of other festivals worth checking out are the Tumaini Festival at Dzaleka Refugee Camp in November, the Sand Music Festival at Senga Bay during November, or the Lake Malawi Sailing Marathon during July or August.

Question 9

Is Malawi known for specific food/cuisine?

Accepted Answer

The cuisine in Malawi typically centres around starch and seafood dishes. Tea is also a popular feature of the cuisine in Malawi. When eating a meal in Malawi, your dish will usually consist of two things, Nsima (the starch) and Ndiwo (the relish). The Nsima is typically similar throughout the country and made from corn or maise, while the Ndiwo varies depending on the region. Pinning down a national dish in Malawi is difficult; however, one of the most well-known dishes is Chambo. Chambo is a popular fish found in Lake Malawi, which is grilled and served alongside nsima made from corn maise or potato chips. Kachumbari is a popular relish served as a side that's a salad-style dish beloved throughout the country made with tomatoes, onions, coriander, and spicy chilli peppers. For breakfast, many Malawians have Phala la Mgaiwa, a light meal made from ground corn, sweetened with sugar and milk. If you enjoy spicy food, try Chikondamoyo. This dish consists of a hollowed-out portion of a loaf of bread, either a half or quarter, filled with a very hot curry. This dish is one of the most beloved dishes in Malawi.
