The best currency is US dollars; you can pay in dollars and can always change it when needed. In Malawi we generally give a 10% tip.

In restaurants it is best to give a cash tip directly to the waiter/waitress as many owners either don't give it to their staff or divide it amongst them. Another tip (excuse the pun); they don't exchange one dollar bills in Malawi. Quite bizarre. Have the best time, enjoy!
