Cape Maclear
Cape Maclear (
Chembe) is a small fishing village on Lake Malawi. It has
one dirt road leading into town along which there are a few
hostels, some dive shops, a couple of bars and a few vendors
selling curios and fruit. The local fishermen live in the centre of
the town and in order to get from Steven's Guest House, for
example, to Fat Monkeys, you must go through the town; it's a great
way to see how the average Malawian lives.
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.
