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.
