I'm sure people will give you more info than this but I can tell you that the last postal strike in the UK was a few weeks ago and a settlement has (nearly) been reached so your LP guide may arrive in time depending on the Malawi end of things. Try going back through the posts on the Egypt pages on the Thorntree and you'll find lots of information. You want advice on a place to stay for the first night - ok - but where are you starting your trip?
