i agree with neutone, Gibb. don't change your mind.
Africa is an incredible place. South Africa (and i speak from experience) is a STUNNING country with countless tourist attractions (and honestly, if you're coming to africa from the west, then going to SA first is a good way to ease into the culture change).
Crime is an issue with both of these countries, but only if you're stupid, i mean, its not like they're Iraq and have mobs hunting you down. just do your research on the countries that you'll visit and you'll have a good time (i recommend Lonely Planet, but it has to be up to date)
Malawi is an extremely poor country, and it would be one heck of an experience... just get all of your vaccinations and shots.
if i were you i'd also consider Botswana, Namibia and if you're keen to go further north to east Africa, then Tanzania (and i can personally recommend Zanzibar).
just travel smart, and have fun... and remember to come back and tell us all about it!
