Zomba Massif, a large plateau in southern Malawi, offers stunning views, diverse hiking trails, and opportunities for birdwatching. Accessibility can be challenging, with some trails being steep and rugged, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. While solo hiking is possible, hiring a local guide enhances the experience, providing valuable insights and ensuring safety, especially on less-traveled paths. The dry season (May to October) is ideal for visiting, as the trails are drier and more accessible. Costs are relatively low, primarily involving transportation, park fees, and guide services, potentially totaling around $50-$100 per day. A typical visit duration ranges from a day hike to a multi-day camping trip, allowing for exploration of its various peaks, waterfalls, and viewpoints.
