Lake Malawi Saling Promoted as the 'Warm Heart of Africa', Malawi is a long, thin country renowned for the unequalled friendliness of its people, unspoilt national parks and wildlife reserves, and the beaches and tropical fish life of Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa. The countries layout is dominated by the vast lake, as well as the Great Rift Valley that cuts through the country from north to south, creating fertile valleys, cool mountains and verdant plateaus.

Of all the countries in Africa, Malawi's geography is the most shaped by Africa’s Great Rift Valley. Delightful lakeside beaches line the western shores of the 375 mile long Lake Malawi; there are plateaus alive with roaming herds of zebra and antelope, and pristine highland regions.

Malawi vacations offer Africa’s best inland beach destination, with beautiful unspoiled islands, superb freshwater beaches, and a spectacular and colorful array of tropical freshwater fish. This is an ideal destination for fishing, snorkeling and diving.

Away from the lake, the country has eleven national parks protecting a range of different habitats. Malawi safaris feature a wealth of wildlife, mountain climbs and hikes, and even opportunities to explore Malawi on horseback. Visitors will find the people warm and friendly, with a rich cultural history that makes each visit unforgettable.
