Why Travel to Malawi? by

Malawi, the Warm Heart of Africa, is famous for its friendly people and beautiful Lake Malawi. This relatively small, yet diverse country is a laid-back travel destination where the pace of life slows down and you get to relax and appreciate its spectacular natural scenery.

Although the Republic of Malawi is a landlocked country around 20% of its total area is covered by the fresh-water Lake Malawi. Malawi is the ideal destination for a relaxing beach break on the shores of the Lake of Stars, where you can participate in water sports or explore its clear, warm waters by boat, yacht or catamaran.

The country consists primarily of a long narrow plateau and rolling plains, gentle hills and a few mountain ranges. Most of Malawi’s population is rural with agriculture being the main industry. The majority of Malawians still live in traditional villages that welcome visitors interested in their way of life.

Malawi Highlights – Lakeshore Beaches, Scenery & Wildlife 

Malawi is home to over 650 recorded bird species found across the country's different landscapes. The birdlife consists primarily of woodland or grassland varieties including the Livingstone flycatcher, red-winged francolin and the endemic Lillian’s lovebird, and is a summer home of many migratory species.

Lake Malawi, as well as the rivers and dams of Malawi also attract waterbirds such as fish eagles, hamerkops, kingfishers, egrets and pelicans. Raptors, like the African marsh harrier, black-breasted snake eagle and peregrine falcon, add to the variety of birdlife.

Lake Malawi - Malawi's Jewel

The vast freshwater Lake Malawi is one of the most scenic Lakes in the world, idyllically located between high mountains in a warm climate. The lake is famous for its warm crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, and the endemic cichlid fish. The crystal clear waters of Lake Malawi stretch over 500km along eastern Malawi forming most of the border between Malawi and the rugged coast of Mozambique and Tanzania. The lake, also known as Lake Nyasa, lies in the Great Rift Valley running through Malawi. Its fish-rich waters serve as a major food source for Malawians, including fish chambo and the Kampango, a large catfish. Lake Malawi is an excellent destination for freshwater snorkelling and diving, as well as water sports like waterskiing, sailing, kayaking, and swimming. boasts a variety of brightly coloured fish in its tropical waters, making it an excellent destination for snorkelling and scuba diving. The lake also boasts sandy white beaches fringed with palm trees, ideal for lazing on. 

Lake Malawi National Park located on the southern end of the lake is a World Heritage Site, considered of great importance in the study of evolution. Other wildlife found at Lake Malawi includes monitor lizards, hippopotamus, baboons, antelopes, hyrax, crocodiles and a sizeable population of African fish eagles.

Liwonde National Park - Wildlife & Scenic Delight

Liwonde National Park is considered Malawi’s top game reserve offering the best game viewing in the country, as well as some of the most beautiful scenery. Liwonde is located in the south of Malawi along the Upper Shire River and is said to be the longest-established park in the country. Liwonde Park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in Malawi with these gentle mammals frequently being sighted at the river’s edge, along with hippopotamuses, zebras, antelopes and crocodiles.

The park is home to high concentrations of sable antelope, kudu, duiker and oribi, and warthogs. Waterbuck, reedbuck, antelope and if you’re lucky even lions and leopards can also be spotted in Liwonde. The park runs a rhino-breeding program having reintroduced two black rhinos into the wild. Liwonde is also rich in birdlife with species including the African Fish Eagle, jacana, white-bellied cormorant, Palm-nut vultures, Western Banded Eagles, Brown Snake Eagles as well as a number of weavers and bishops. The uncommon Lilian's lovebird is also found in Liwonde along with Carmine and Boehm's Bee-eaters. Liwonde Park offers visitors excellent accommodation options, night game drives and game-viewing boat trips.

Malawi Safaris - from Sailing in Style to Camping Overland

There are a wide variety of Malawi safaris to choose from including overland camping, lodge, and fly-in safaris. Malawi is an ideal beach and wildlife getaway destination that combines well with Zambia’s Luangwa National Park.

On Lake Malawi safaris your days are typically spent relaxing on the sandy beaches along the lakeshore, swimming in the warm waters or participating in the variety of water sports on offer. You get to enjoy fresh fish caught by the local fisherman using traditional fishing techniques and you can try paddling a dugout canoe if you’re up for the challenge. On dry land you can learn to play the local game of bao or hunt for bargains at the local markets, as well as go horse riding or visiting a local school and village.

African Budget Safaris combine Zambia, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia with a visit to Malawi, in various itineraries encompassing the best beach and wildlife highlights in southern Africa. Highlights include Victoria Falls, Zanzibar’s Stone Town, Luangwa Park in Zambia, Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, South Africa’s Kruger Park and Chobe in Botswana, to name a few.
