COUNTRY HIGHLIGHTS
Malawi is the warm, friendly heart of central southern Africa, offering a true African experience in terms of scenery, wildlife and people. It is long and narrow, dominated by the great blue shining Lake Malawi. The Great Rift Valley cuts into Southern Africa creating the magnificent fresh water Lake. Along this beautiful expanse of water - some 360 miles long and 50 miles wide - lay thatch roof fishing villages, sugar and cotton farms and a profusion of mango and baobab trees. In the high country on plateaus above dramatic escarpments, tea plantations abound. There are plains and marshlands and mountains, so there is no lack of imposing and dramatic scenery.
This lovely countryside and relaxing atmosphere make Malawi a wonderful place to take a break from the rigors of bush travel.
Liwonde National Park is a small wildlife reserve that offers the visitor fine game viewing in a tropical paradise - an idyllic place of peace and plenty. Accommodated in a small, luxury lodge situated in a secluded spot overlooking lovely, forest-fringed lagoons, Liwonde makes a marvelous place for game and bird watching.
Lake Malawi - one of Africa's great lakes - is a beautiful and intriguing stretch of water, where the traveler can unwind and relax from the rigors of a safari. Filling one of the deepest clefts in the Great Rift Valley and surrounded by mountains, the lake has magnificent beaches, excellent snorkeling opportunities and great bathing in clear, fresh water. It has one of the highest concentrations of freshwater fish on earth, estimated at 1 000 species, some brilliantly colored and some which are great for eating! The lake is also home to hippo and crocodiles and an abundance of birds - from the great fish eagle to the glorious kingfisher. |
