Stories from the land of the lake of stars

I'm Austin Madinga — a storyteller and photographer from Malawi, the land of the Lake of Stars. I document and tell stories of the destinations, people, wildlife, culture, and conservation efforts that define this part of Africa. I also provide insights into the business and investment opportunities within Malawi's tourism sector.

The Business of Tourism & Conservation

Perspectives on Malawi

I am interested in immersive storytelling projects that expand the African narrative around tourism, travel, local conservation efforts and the continent's people and culture.

I work with lodges, conservation organisations, tourism players, and travel publications to develop the editorial stories and photography that give their work the visibility it deserves. If your story deserves to be told, I'd like to help.
