Malawi is a warm and welcoming country that offers visitors wonderful scenery, fascinating parks and some of the friendliest people in Africa. A long and narrow landlocked country it covers more than 1000 kilometres from north to south while Lake Malawi, nearly 600km long and up to 80km wide, dominates the countryside. When David Livingstone arrived at the lakeshore in 1861, he was the first European explorer to see the Lake, and was so awestruck that he started missions here.

There is no country in all of Africa that has its geography so sculptured and determined by Africa's Great Rift Valley, the largest single geographical feature on Earth. Towering mountains, lush, fertile valley floors and enormous crystal-clear lakes are hallmarks of much of the Rift Valley - and Malawi displays them all.

Explore the continent's third largest inland body of water; Lake Malawi, boasting one of the world's richest populations of fish.

Discover the mountains and plateaux of Malawi, including Nyika National Park which is home to the roan and eland.

Visit Liwonde and Lengwe National Parks and the Majete Game Reserve, where the bulk of the country's elephant population occurs.
