Balaka in Malawi: wet–dry rhythms and shade-seeking trail choices; worth a dedicated pause rather than a fuel-stop…
Use Malawi as a map of regions rather than a single capital stop. Expect heat, monsoon timing and early-morning starts. Lilongwe works as a gateway; the character often sits in the regions beyond. Broadly part of Eastern Africa. Languages you will meet include English, Chewa. Stay for weather windows, not just a single viewpoint.
