The ‘Big Kick’ Malawi
Lothar Matthäus talking with young footballers in Cape Maclear
Kayak Africa organized the Malawi leg of the epic trip one football made from Germany to Cape Town. Thirty-six participants and fourteen support crew and media, including German footballing legend Lothar Matthäus, made their way from Lilongwe to Mulanje via Cape Maclear and Zomba, dribbling the ball the whole way. This was a great start to the excitement of the world. This was a great prelude to the start of the excitement of the World Cup – watched throughout Malawi with avid excitement in every roadside teahouse and reed walled “cinema”.
School Visits
Last week Kayak Africa hosted the first of many school visits by local school children to Mumbo Island. This is a new initiative between National Parks and Kayak Africa, with the intention of showing every child in Chembe Village the importance of conservation in the Lake Malawi National Park and how this can benefit them directly. Twenty-four students and six teachers from Cape Maclear Community Day Secondary School took the boat out to Mumbo and were briefed by Edward Stefano, our Head Guide and Mrs Kamwaza from the park, who spoke on the environmentally sensitive waste management of the island and the conservation issues of over-fishing and deforestation. Our Manager, Joseph Kamanje, spoke to the group about the importance if ecotourism in their area and how this could benefit their community.
‘Hands on Holiday’ package
Kayak Africa has put together a package that gives visitors a great opportunity to get involved with the local Chembe Village Community Project. The package includes;
· 2 nights stay at Tuckaways Lodge with meals at Ghecko Lounge or with a local family
· Orientation tour of the project
· Project Pack
· Volunteer opportunities with sections of the project for example, HIV/Aids prevention or building a day care centre
