Finally 😁Been waiting for this! Jameni, @Broline unachanganya mabinti kweli kweli (min 2:23) mbaka wanasahau hapo mlipo ni Mbeya 😂. Unfortunate scenes pale Malawian Border,,8+ hrs waiting 😏 @Chief Nomad, the way you pronounce Nkhotakota (min 31:17)😂😂 Generally Malawi seems most of it is dry... waiting for Day 7+. Epic!

[@felixmakinda7689]

Disclaimer: Unmarried Kenyan young men should avoid Tanzania 😂. Juicy low hanging fruits.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Haha, glad you caught that @Broline moment😄 The border situation was definitely frustrating but made for a good story. As for Nkhota Kota, we’ll make sure to work on pronunciation next time! 😆 Malawi has been a unique experience, looking forward to sharing more from Day 7 onwards. Stay tuned! 🙏

Welcome to Malawi sorry for the problems at the border

[@wilcoxdaniel9825]

This is so, so great to witness. This will bring Africa closer and soon travel within Africa will be easier. These must be shown to Various African immigration officials. Did you apply for visas before traveling?? You should book a slot on national TV stations. It's a shame there is not an African TV Channel that is broadcast continent wide in local languages...

Ruto, your wife is beautiful. Am a husband. That out of the way. An idea for you to consider. Each trip there should be an iconic Khadija photo. Build a catalogue. She fits in every adventure. Could open up mara nomad modelling opportunities as you grow your company. Maybe in dec can meet you guys. All the best.

[@Car-z6w]

Just asking, did you have fresh fish from lake Malawi? Had a brief stay in Malawi some years back. Actually in Blantyre then later in Lilongwe. Malawians and Zambians are warm hearted people. Lakini hio border ya kasumuli has amazed me😮😮. Almost 14 years ago it never changed. Waaah. Kweli

[@maulidshaban]

I hated this border point...the were soooo slow that we were cleared after 6pm of which they had already CLOSED the gates in Malawi!!! We just pitched our tents on the TZ side (border point as had already exited tz n couldn't go back in) which seemed to have better infrastructure...that was a highlight in my travel history on its own
