The
tourist brochures bill Malawi as 'the warm heart of Africa,' and for once
the hype is true. Malawi's scenery is gorgeous and varied and Malawians
tend to be extremely friendly toward travellers. It's a real nature-lover's
destination: lots of national parks and game reserves, mountain hiking
and plateau trekking and the massive Lake Malawi, great for diving, boating
or lazing about. Malawi is landlocked Malawi is dominated by its 500 km-long and 60-80 km-wide lake, the third largest in Africa and big enough to be an inland sea. The lake offers excellent fishing, swimming and a variety of water sports. There is abundant wild- and birdlife in the country's five national parks. Lake Malawi is the county's centerpiece. Like an inland sea it has endless palm fringed beaches, enclosed by sheer mountains, making it undeniably the focal point for Malawi's tourists. |
