Malawi

The Warm Heart of Africa

Offering lakes, landscapes, wildlife and culture, Malawi is one of Africa’s most beautiful and compact countries. Described as the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’, this relatively little-known gem of this diverse continent has so much to offer; wildlife, culture, adventure, scenery, and of course the third largest lake in Africa. A year-round destination, some even go as far to describe Malawi as the most attractive and complete destination in Africa!

Lake Malawi

Malawi is home to Lake Malawi, which is not only Africa's third-largest lake but also possesses the largest number of fish species of any lake in the world. Remarkably, about 90% of these fish species are endemic, found nowhere else on Earth. The lake's biodiversity and evolutionary significance make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fascinating destination for ecotourism and scientific research.

Traditional Villages

Malawi is one of the few places in Africa where you can partake in what's known as a "cultural tour." These tours offer visitors a chance to stay in traditional village huts, participate in daily activities alongside locals like farming or cooking, and immerse themselves in authentic Malawian culture. It's a truly unique way to experience the warmth and hospitality of the country's people.
