Getting around Malawi is an adventure in itself. For longer distances, local buses and minibusses are the most economical, though often crowded and slow. Shared taxis (matolas) offer a slightly faster, albeit still basic, option. Renting a 4x4 is recommended for exploring more remote areas or national parks, especially during the rainy season. Hiring a private driver can be a comfortable and efficient, though more expensive, way to travel between major towns and attractions, allowing for flexibility and local insights.

Malawi experiences a tropical continental climate. The country generally has two main seasons: a cooler, dry season from May to October, and a warmer, rainy season from November to April. Temperatures can vary significantly with altitude; the highlands are cooler, while the lake shore and low-lying areas are hotter and more humid.
The best months to visit Malawi are typically between May and October, during the dry season, offering pleasant temperatures, clear skies, and excellent conditions for wildlife viewing and lake activities.
Peak season generally coincides with the dry months, from June to October. Expect the best weather for travel and safaris, but also higher visitor numbers and potentially increased prices for accommodation.
The off-season is during the rainy months, from November to April, sometimes referred to as the 'green season'. While some roads can be challenging, the landscape is lush and vibrant, birdlife is abundant, and you'll encounter fewer tourists and lower prices.
