Holidays in Salima

Got a bad case of the travel bug? Chillax — we've got the cure. Book a holiday in Salima and you'll be better in no time!

The well-known city of Lilongwe is within reach of Salima. You'll find this bustling centre 85 kilometres to the west.

Longing for some quality time with Mother Nature? Dig out your car keys and head in the direction of Lake Malawi National Park, 50 kilometres away from Salima. Alternatively, get some fresh air at Lizard Island, 12 kilometres away.

Want to venture out a little bit? Kachulu is 20 kilometres to the north of Salima and Cape Maclear is 40 kilometres to the southeast. Hop in the car and find out what's happening out there!

It's hard to find a better way to wander through the surrounding area than on a fun adventure. Join in on a bit of mountain biking or mountain climbing and get your blood pumping!

There's no need to take your guidebook with you if you choose to go on some guided nature walks, wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris. Your tour guide will give you the most informed local knowledge available!

Whether you'd rather be in, around or on it, everybody loves the water! Why not add a splash of excitement to your escape by going swimming and snorkeling?

'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 combine your two loves by eating and drinking your way through Malawi.

Are you partial to corn? How about potato? Whether you're wild about them or not, they are two key ingredients regularly used in dishes here.

When the locals talk to you about their favourite foods, you'll probably hear nthochi (bread) or biltong (jerky like beef) mentioned a few times. These signature recipes are an important part of the region and should be on any foodie's list.

Still have a bit of give in your waistband after dinner? Then put in an order for nthochi (banana bread), a tempting sweet treat.

Do you want something a little more potent? You have to taste Gold Label brandy. Ask the bar person if it's nice in any cocktails and mixed drinks. If that fails, lift your shot glass and drink it up straight!

If you're considering going to Salima in July, you'll want to be here around the 6th for Republic Day. There's always lots of excitement on this national day of festivities.

When your trip is at an end and it's time to say goodbye, don't leave your last Malawian kwachas jingling around in your purse. Why not buy some souvenirs as a reminder of this picturesque region?

If you'll be travelling via air, you'll likely go through Kamuzu International Airport (LLW). It's 85 kilometres to the west. Pack your suitcase, map out a route and set your alarm clock!
