GROUPS – If you’re planning a group visit, please complete our enquiry form and we’ll get in touch to arrange a call with you to understand your aims and answer any questions you might have. For all group visit planning and logistical arrangements, you’ll work with our official travel partner, Orbis, and we’ll stay in touch with you throughout the booking process.
INDIVIDUALS – For individual applications, please submit an application or get in touch with us so we can discuss your visit options.
Whether joining an organised group tour, or as an individual on a scheduled departure trip, you’ll be based at BPF Malawi’s Mtema community centre, staying in our accommodation block. From here, you’ll contribute to the NGO’s locally delivered community programs, working with BPF Malawi’s operations team. Activities include coaching sports in schools, getting involved with sessions at local rugby & netball clubs and supporting our on-site community centre programs. Activities will be led by the needs of the NGO.
In addition to community outreach, you’ll also get the chance to experience more of Malawi, with R&R activities incorporated within your Orbis managed itinerary.
Prices are based on the length of your visit and the activities/excursions managed by Orbis (and in collaboration with BPF Malawi’s team of staff).
With BPF Malawi in Lilongwe:
All travel related logistics (and activities which don’t involve BPF) are managed by Orbis.
The best time to visit and volunteer with us is April to November.
Visits of 3-5 days (Monday to Friday) work best for BPF Malawi’s team and the NGO’s activities.
