On The Ground in Malawi: the Experience

A dream come true for Helena Telkänranta

When I, a Finnish journalist, was sent by WWF to Mangochi Region, in order to report back on WWF’s work in Malawi, it was not just any assignment: it was a European nature lover’s very first trip to Africa.

Going to the continent of my dreams. A dream I've held since my childhood. A good enough reason to jump up and down with enthusiasm while getting prepared for the trip...

Want to see what really happened, once I landed on that mythical continent?

• Very large things that go bump in the night
• Discovering the underwater landscape of Lake Malawi
• A strong potential for the "flames of fire"
