Believe me or not: herd of elephants /about 12 with babies/ said Goodbye to us at the reception of Flatdogs Camp when we were departing South Luangwa…. It is not easy to find the local transport from Mwfue to Chipata. I was lucky to met in the camp very nice couple from Switzerland and they offered me a ride – thak you so much Richard and Andrea!
Five hours later we reached border of Malawi. Surprise!!!!: – You need a visa to enter Malawi! – said black officer… What shoul we do now? Most of the african countries interested in the development of tourism issue visas at the bordes posts! – But you: Switzerlan and Poland are not on the list! – he said.
Problem…. Finally he issued temporary 2-days permit on the piece of yellow paper. With this paper we got our visas in the immigration office in the capital city of Lilongwe. 3000 Malawi kwacha to pay, no photos, 2 hours waiting… 1 USD is worth 120 Mkwacha.
So while in trouble – ask for the yellow paper…
Welcome to Malawi!~
