TRAVEL GROUPING RECOMMENDS MALAWI – Bizmalawi

Every year, the founders of We Are Travel Girls, take a group of 12 women to Malawi for their annual Malawi Safari & Charity Trip. We Are Travel Girls is a global travel community that started with the intention to “inspire, connect, educate and empower female travelers around the world”. A contributor for Forbes, spoke with founders the of the grouping, Becky van Dijk and Vanessa Rivers about why Malawi is a destination they constantly visit.

The founders had 6 reasons;

1.Shire River in Liwonde

According to Becky and Vanessa, the view of the river is like stepping into the Lion King. “Seeing such an array of creatures come together to drink water, play and hunt for food is out of this world. And doing so from the river itself is a much nicer experience than from a noisy jeep.” they said

2.Drinking Gin&Tonics

The two founders acclaimed Malawi Gin as a drink that is incredibly tasty. Malawi Gin has long had something of a cult following among British tourists, while on the other hand, renown Southafrican politician Julius Malema was seen on video, saying Malawi gin is the best gin in Africa.

3.Meeting Malawians

Becky and Vanessa described Malawians as warm and welcoming. “Their hospitality makes visitors feel at home as soon as they step off the plane.” said the founders, who also added that Malawian’s wealth of happiness is infectious.

4.Touring Mumbo Island

Mumbo Island in the middle of Lake Malawi; a destination acclaimed by the Sunday Times’ Top 100 Places to Stay in 2017. The island is only a half a mile in diameter and has never been inhabited by a population. It is a pristine, natural, oasis offering visitors a luxurious and sustainable travel experience.

5.Satemwa Tea Estates

Founded in 1923, Satemwa is one of the last family-owned tea estates in the region, as most have been purchased by large corporations. Guests can spend the night at Satemwa and enjoy sundowners overlooking the rolling tea fields, estate tours, and private tea tastings.

6.Giving back to the community

Becky and Vanessa revealed that We Are Travel Girls works with tour companies that give back to the communities that the grouping visits. “We are proud to have partnered with The Responsible Safari Company to show our guests the best of Malawi during our annual Malawi Safari & Charity Trip.” Says Becky and Vanessa.
