Wildlife Holidays in Malawi
Tell me about Malawi …
Malawi is a land-locked country lying at the southern end of the Great Rift Valley.
A small nation by African standards, its mountains, marshes and lakes – situated between 40 metres and 3,000 metres above sea level – offer a wide diversity of scenery. Lake Malawi dominates the country geographically and is the third largest lake in Africa.
The people of Malawi are among the friendliest people on the continent, and have earned their country the title of ‘the warm heart of Africa’.
Malawi offers excellent opportunities for exploring on foot – there’s some fabulous mountain walking, and the absence of Lions in lowland reserves allows us to enjoy the wildlife away from the confines of the usual ‘protective’ minibus.
