The Lake Itself

Lake Malawi is huge, so big that it seems like an ocean where one never dares to make out the other side. Naturally, once you get to the beach there are plenty of hawkers and “business folk” waiting. They are there to offer you cheaply made crap, trips on their personal boats for scooba diving, and other fun-filled ripping-you-off activities. We were well advised to not take up their offers, as their services were usually cut short to skip you out of some money.

There were also offers to take you fishing during the day. The actual fishermen leave at 10pm and return at 5am with their fresh catches, so clearly trying to cheat you out of money there..

The lake was very pretty, with a small island near the coast.

Were there any crocs in the lake or other creatures?
