(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - August 8th, 2013 - We are pleased to announce the release of the latest edition of the Bradt Malawi Guidebook. This title is the only standalone guide to the ‘warm heart of Africa’ available. Malawi is famous for its eponymous lake, a strip of azure water stretching for 500km through the Great Rift Valley. However, Bradt’s Malawi reveals the surprising variety of experience the country has to offer, ancient rock art sites and little-visited mountains and forests, offering a fresh perspective.

The guide has been updated to keep abreast of the latest tourism developments in Malawi. Containing the best lodges, lakeshore idylls and eateries for all budgets it has become the definitive guidebook for travellers to the country. The important development of the Majete game reserve to a fenced ‘Big Five’ reserve is covered sensitively and in detail, in a text replete with humour and keen-eyed observation.

Philip Briggs, the author, is the definitive travel writer specialising on Africa. He first backpacked between Nairobi and Capetown in 1986 and has travelled the continent’s highways and byways ever since. He is now the author of over 10 Bradt guidebooks many of which are to destinations otherwise unchartered in the travel publishing industry. Bradt has, for nearly forty years, maintained a maxim of 'taking the road less travelled'. This excellent and thoroughly updated guide to Malawi follows just that ethos, and reveals the delights of the jewel of Africa.

You can purchase your very own copy of the guide book on the Bradt Guides website.

To celebrate the launch of this fantastic book we're going to be giving away five free copies! Details of the competition will be revealed through the Malawi Tourism facebook page next week.
