Mulanje Mountain Tours

Away from the mountain

Tea, villages and wildlife

Mount Mulanje is most of what Edgison guides, but not all of it. These three run in the country around the massif and can be arranged on their own or added to a walking trip.

  • Tea Plantation Tours

    How Malawi tea is grown, harvested and processed, and the history of the industry around Mulanje and Thyolo.

  • Village & Cultural Tours

    Local communities, traditional ways of life, food, crafts, dances and customs — met respectfully, on their terms.
