Richard Slater and Lauren Davies - Makuzi Bay Malawi


Richard and Lauren live in a brick house with a tin roof. Wealth in their Malawian community is measured by your standing with the chief of the area. Education is also a factor with locals approaching literate people to ask for help with documents. Richard would like to meet George Mallory the famous mountaineer. He follows rugby with the Stormers being his team. He would like his children to do anything that they are passionate about. He would like to leave behind something sustainable and that would further mankind and the environment.


This is Makusi Bay. Fantastic place to relax. I would recommend this spot for a breakaway holiday. The pics tell the story.

Michael took us out to the island for a fish braai and a snorkel dive to observe the chiclid freshwater fish endemic to the lake. Michael hopes to become a travel agent taking touring groups around Malawi. He lives in a mud brick house which needs constant renovation after the rainy season. His idea of fun is to braai with friends. Wealth is measured by the size of your house. He wants to visit England. The most beautiful thing he has seen is a rhino. He is a soccer fan and supports Man United. His staple food is a meal made from maize called nsima, as well as fish from the lake. He has 2 girls and a boy that are his late sisters children that he is bringing up and hopes the girls become nurses and the boy an IT specialist.
