Top places to visit in Malawi

My visit to Malawi was too brief, only a couple of days, and I had no time to sightsee. The Blantyre and Kamaze area are surrounded by mountains. I wish I could have seen more of the countryside. I loved this quaint little grocery store on the side of the highway.

Frequently asked questions

Which airlines fly to Malawi?
With 19 airlines servicing Kamuzu Intl. Airport (LLW), your next big adventure is just a couple of clicks away. Look up the deals from these leading international carriers and pick up cheap flights to Malawi:

  • Ethiopian Airlines - 26 flights to Malawi per month
  • Kenya Airways - 10 flights to Malawi per month

How much is a flight to Malawi?
Plenty of huge deals were going begging this week, with round-trip flights to Malawi fluctuating from $482 to $1,446. But it was passengers departing from Johannesburg (JNB) who scored the best bargains. One-way fares to Malawi fell to a low $290.
How to book the cheapest flight to Malawi?
With Orbitz, you'll uncover some of the most exciting flight deals around from a wide range of airlines. But if you'd love to increase your likelihood of landing cheap flights to Malawi, here are some suggestions we think will help:

  • Depending on your place of departure, select the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). In certain cases, other departure points will have more competitive fares.
  • If you're flexible with your travel itinerary, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. It'll display the flight deals for the days before and after your selected departure. Fares often vary depending on what day of the week it is.
  • To optimize your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also choose the time of day you'd like to fly under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
  • If you've worked out your travel dates, don't delay booking. Fares generally climb as the departure date nears.
  • Combine your hotels, flights and car rental into one convenient package deal. Save your dollars for things you're really excited about, like exploring Malawi.
  • If practical, avoid traveling in high seasons. Airfares surge during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What is the best time to book a flight to Malawi?
Book in January, February or August for the lowest airfares to Malawi. Once you've spotted a bargain, lock it in — cheap flights tend to appear and vanish at the tap of a button.
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Malawi?
Make a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the cheapest days of the week to purchase airfares to Malawi. The vacation of your dreams starts with an impressive flight deal!
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Malawi?
If you're searching for cheap flights to Malawi, depart early in the week. Orbitz data from 2020 shows Monday is the most affordable day to fly out, followed by Tuesday. Saturday has the most expensive fares, so avoid flying on this day and do your budget a favor.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Malawi?
To pick up cheap flights to Malawi, pack your bags and fly out in August. Orbitz data has found that generally, this is an excellent month to save big on your ticket. If you're thinking of flying to Malawi during June, bear in mind that this is the most expensive time to take a trip.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
Flexible travel is more important than ever, that's why Orbitz lets you search for carriers that won't hit you with a fee for amendments to your reservation. Enter your departure and arrival points, then choose "Filter by flexible change policies." We'll show you all the options that include free cancellation within 24 hours of booking and no change fees.
What do I need for the flight to Malawi?
It's good to be prepared for anything when going on a trip. Remember the following for a smooth journey:

  • You'll need identification such as your passport. To avoid confusion during check-in, make sure you book your flights under the same name as your government-issued ID. It's smart to have digital copies of important documents too, just to be safe!
  • Bring some extra entertainment for your long trip to Malawi. If you're tired of watching movies, give your eyes a break from all that screen time and get stuck into a book.
  • Cabin temperatures are often cold enough to give you goose pimples. Carry a hoodie even if you're traveling during the height of Malawi summer.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Malawi?
If you think a first or business-class ticket is beyond your grasp, think again. Here are a few practical tips to help you land a premium flight to Malawi for less:

  • Flexibility is important. By being open to different travel dates, you'll have better odds of finding a deal on your airfares.
  • Many budget airlines have quality business or premium-class seating without the hefty fees.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a flight loyalty scheme.

What is the best time to go to Malawi?
While Malawi is a fantastic destination to visit any time, the most popular months are May, August and September. Like the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, the summer season begins December 1 here. At this time, temperatures typically fluctuate between 60 ºF in the evening and 75 ºF during the day.
Travel tips for Malawi

  • Market is just one of many must-see's during your visit to Malawi. Arrange a car rental and enjoy the freedom of exploring this terrific attraction — and plenty of other things — at your own speed.
  • If you enjoy the fun and action of major cities, kick off your getaway in Lilongwe. This lively destination is the first port of call for many travelers to the area.
