Is it better to buy an eSIM or a physical SIM for Malawi?

An eSIM needs no card swap, can be installed before departure, activates right after landing, and supports dual SIM (keeping your home number). A physical SIM suits cases needing a local phone number or a device without eSIM support. Compare eSIM prices here first — they're usually cheaper than airport counters.

How do I activate a Malawi eSIM after landing?

Install it before departure over Wi-Fi. After landing, enable data roaming to auto-activate; if there's still no service after 1-2 minutes, manually select the local operator in settings. Checking device compatibility before departure reduces the risk of activation failure.
