Unique Attractions
Being relatively small and ribbon-like, Malawi slots snugly between East and southern Africa. Its central position makes it a popular choice for a few relaxing days after a safari in Zambia, southern Tanzania or even South Africa.
Malawi's big draw is the lake: a magnificent shard of crystal water stretching some 500km along Malawi's eastern border, separating it from the wild and mountainous coast of Mozambique and Tanzania.
Around 500 species of fish inhabit the lake and the freshwater diving and snorkelling here are excellent.
Head for the misty heights of Mount Mulanje or to the Nyika National Park, where you'll find sheer escarpments, dramatic peaks, endless rolling grassland and some of the most enjoyable hiking routes in the whole of Africa.
