You have such a calming aura. I can't get used to it.
I also high-key want to do this trip ... OMW!!!
Beautiful vlog ❤️🧡😊
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Hoping to share more travel content soon 🌸
Your vlog is awesome I want to visit. It safe am an Indian from South Africa Durban
Malawi felt really safe for me. There are quite a few Indian owned restaurants and businesses in Malawi so I think it would be safe for you too.
This is one of the better and more informative videos on this particular bus journeys through Africa. Well done. Not good to know though that you had to pay exstra to get to Blantyre from the border. To wait 6 hours exstra was not told before you bought the ticket. Then playing music loud all the way, eish man. Thanks to your vid, one can now be prepared for a journey like this. Think i will do this off season and hope the borders are less busy.
You summaried the trip so well 😂 Yho it was definitely a journey but so worthwhile. In retrospect, yes going during peak season was not the best time so during the year would be more calm. But I don’t think the bus experience of the music would be any different 😅 Thanks for watching ❤️
I do not agree. Its one of the worst. Its like she was jus doin her private videos and not content creating.
Check Malango Travels. The sam journey how he did it.
Omgoddess you inspired me to bus from Joburg to Malawi. This is amazing!
How much did you spend on the trip all together sis?
I love to hear it! 🥹✨ Are you from Malawi? 🇲🇼 I will say you have to be strong willed to get through it but it’s totally worth it. The bus going there was R2400, the return was R1450. We moved around quite a bit from Blantyre, to Zomba, Monkey Bay and Finally to Lilongwe so there was a lot of transport costs. We used public transport most of the journey. But accommodation was quite reasonable. I’d say altogether, an estimate would be R24000 for 2 people, including food. Bearing in mind that we are vegetarians so the diet and lifestyle is quite different than the average traveller. ❤️
@@bakerlikeanita I’m from the states but my fiancé is from Malawi but lives in Joburg where we met and live. I been telling him I want to visit but I didn’t even think about taking the bus there. I usually fly everywhere but plane tickets are soo much more expensive now especially for two. R24000 is not that bad for two ppl. I’d like to travel to those places as well.
What would you say was the 2 most difficult things about the trip?
@Akwakween wooow that’s so beautiful 😻 I love me a cross continental love story 🥹
We also took the bus because flying around the continent is really expensive.
I’d say the most difficult thing about the trip is just the perceptions we have of each other as black people. As South Africans, it was assumed that we have money (more than Malawians) and people thought we were tourists, but we see ourselves as just travelers exploring our homeland. But perceptions take time to break down. So I’m sure being an American would make you seem even more wealthy. So the locals can put pressure on you for money or even overcharge you for travel. And the devaluation of the local currency in recent months also makes it more expensive as everyone is desperate for money. Linked to that, what was also a challenge is the transport system. We chose to use public transport throughout the country, to save money and to have the local experience. But the mini bus taxis take long to fill up and they also overload the taxis to maximise on the use of fuel, which is expensive.
You are brave
That’s what the Malawians said when we arrived and they heard we took the bus😂
Hey love the content ,what documents do you need to travel ?
Just your passport and some cash for the border gates. They sometimes ask for other documentation like COVID Vaccination but they actually want cash. Thanks for watching ☺️
@bakerlikeanita thank you , do they take South African rands ?
@GangDigitals because our currency is generally stronger, they do prefer Rands
Hi,.please share details of bus service provider and Street Where bus departs from.
The name of the Company is Ulemu bus services. There are lots of bus companies to Malawi in the CBD on Kerk street
Hey babe where did you exchange your currency?
@nqobiledlamini2496 we exchanged it on the bus on the way there - only about R500. Then we withdrew the local currency at an ATM when we arrived.
Thank you😊
On the bus just before we arrived in Malawi there were merchants who got on to exchange our cash
U missed a lot of important places and info. There is alot of room for improvement madam. Check how other traveller's do it
