I have been asked many times about what scares me in Malawi….to be totally honest, I struggle to think of anything that truly scares me. I get uncomfortable sometimes, but I could only think of 2 things that really scare me in Malawi.
I am absolutely frightened by crocodiles (ngona) and hippos (mvuu). I recently watched some of my video footage of the safari at Mvuu camp, and I realized I can’t even hold the camera still for more than a few seconds while filming them. I have to look away. I look for both of these creatures everywhere we go in Malawi…even if there is literally zero chance of seeing them.

Those are things to be scared of. It’s like something you’re always on guard for. You were wise to keep aware of what was happening around you.

Thanks Chris. Your comment reminds me that I actually need to work on being more aware of what is around me in my everyday life too. Have a great day!

Yes, I would not want to be too close to these animals … my camera should have a VERY long zoom lens 😳

It was after this trip that I purchased a nicer camera with a zoom lens to help calm my fears. I am usually so grateful that the safari guides always get us so close to the wildlife, but these 2 make me more nervous.

I am actually terrified of snakes! But I have never seen one in Malawi (I know they are there, but so far I have been blessed)🤣. I have only seen them in Zambia.
