Malawi Safaris and Tours
With soaring mountains and lush, mist-shrouded valleys, Malawi is renowned for its natural beauty as well as its many rare and endemic species of plants and animals.
The relatively small, land-locked country of Malawi is dominated by the Rift Valley and the shimmering expanse of Lake Malawi, Africa’s third largest lake, whose crystalline waters teem with multi-hued cichlid fish.
Malawi is popularly known as “the Warm Heart of Africa” because of its friendly, hospitable people who are impossible not to like. Visit vibrant local villages and explore busy markets. On the shores of Lake Malawi, you can call in at traditional fishing communities, relax on golden sandy beaches and snorkel amongst schools of brightly coloured fish.
National parks like Liwonde and Nyika protect an amazing diversity of fauna and flora, from elephant and leopard to hundreds of different orchids.
