Would you like to live authentic village life in Malawi?

Anyone who travels through Malawi as a tourist sees real local life only from a distance. At Nazareth you can experience authentic village life in person. You can stay at Nazareth and explore the surroundings from there. Josefa will accompany you at your travels and will get you acquainted with all the aspects of daily village life. What is the staple food? How is it cultivated and prepared? How do people live in a mud hut? Join in fetching water from the borehole, cooking food on a wood fire, working the fields, playing with the children, dancing with the women…….

You are most welcome at Nazareth! Nazareth is a place for spiritual and human development. We are happy to receive guests who want to share our daily life at our beautiful, simple and restful place Nazareth.

WHAT DO WE ASK FROM YOU?

Nazareth lies on the edge of an agricultural village community in a very rural area. The people live in simple, self-built houses and have no electricity and no running water. They also have no television and do not read a newspaper.

We ask you to wear appropriate clothing when you enter the village. For women, this means wearing long skirts. We can also borrow you a chitenje: the wrapping cloth that the local women traditionally wear. We advise men to wear long trousers, or shorts that reach the knees. This is not an obligation but a form of respect. We also like to advise you on the rules of respect in greeting and dealing with village customs.

Bed linen and towels are included.

If you want to make use of transport by means of our pick-up (with driver) we ask 20 euro cents per kilometer as a compensation.
