Mount Mulanje
Mount Mulanje rises from the plains of southern Malawi with
steep cliffs protecting a vast wilderness of granite peaks, dense
forest, grassy meadows and trickling streams. Hire a guide
(essential) and porters from Mulanje village, and buy any
provisions that you may need. The first day's hike is testing as
you climb steep mountain paths. Once you reach the top, you enter
an enchanting landscape; there are wood huts where you can sleep
and enough trails for days of walking. Climbers can scale some of
the peaks and the prominent granite crags also provide a challenge.
The best time to hike is in the early dry season (May to July) when
temperatures are moderate (it can get reasonably cold at night on
the plateau). Be prepared for rain whenever you visit.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language, but Chichewa is more
commonly spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Malawi Kwacha (MWK), which is
divided into 100 tambalas. Travellers cheques and foreign
currencies are accepted by banks, authorised hotels and other
institutions in the main town centres; bureaux de change are also
available. The US dollar is the easiest currency to exchange.
Credit cards are not widely accepted and ATMs are scarce and should
not be relied upon. Exchanging currency on the black market is not
recommended.
