The Lonely Planet Travel Guide Company has ranked Malawi as one of the world’s Top Ten Friendliest Countries! Along with countries like Ireland, the USA, and Vietnam, Malawi is the only African country to make the list.
Malawi
Malawians describe themselves as ‘the friendliest people in Africa’, living in the ‘warm heart of the continent’. Anyone who’s visited will know that the rare (for Africa) cohesion of the country’s ethnic groups is solid evidence for this, as is the people’s propensity to welcome you into their homes as well as their nation. Malawi is small, poor and without a lot of facilities, but with a greeting like that who needs Western-style comfort?
Of course, we already knew that Malawi is one of the friendliest places on Earth. And here are some more lists I would add Malawi to:
World’s Most Strong and Beautiful Women
World’s Cutest Children
World’s Most Gorgeous Landscape
World’s Most Beautiful Mountains
World’s Most Beautiful Tea Estates
World’s Most Crystal Clear Lakes
World’s Most Amazing Beach Lodges
World’s Greatest Game Parks
World’s Best Mangoes and Avocados
World’s Worst Public Transportation Drivers

Muli Bwanji Y'all! 
If our visit to Malawi in December of 2010 is any indication of the truth of this post, it is right on! The people whom we met were fantastic — from Blantyre to the Lake to Zomba — indeed, the friendliest people ever! Even the police were wonderful!!!
Hi Kate, the two women in the 1st pic are so cute, you are right , from their faces one could know how friendly and nice are these people… thanks for sharing… all the best.
Beautifully written, Kate. I agree with “strong and beautiful women.” I think probably almost all African women are strong because they have to be. I used to go to the hospital early in the morning to make rounds on patients who had had major surgery the day before. I found that many of the women had already gotten up and taken a cold shower even before I got to the hospital. There were no towels so their wet chitenjes gave them away.
