Areas, parks & places to visit in Malawi
Likoma Island
Likoma Island lying 7km from Mozambique, offers sandy beaches and secluded coves with some of the best snorkelling and diving in Malawi. On the southern tip of the island, with its panoramic views of Lake Malawi, the small but stunning Kaya Mawa Lodge is perfect for relaxing.
Liwonde National Park
Malawi doesn't have the huge reserves full of big game that you'll find elsewhere in Africa. However, if you feel like a couple of days of gentle game viewing close to the lake, then Liwonde National Park is ideal. It's a very lush park, totally tropical in atmosphere and abundant in birdlife.
Majete Wildlife Reserve
This large, rugged safari area has been recently regenerated though intensive conservation work; it's Malawi's most interesting new area.
Malawi Interior
Malawi's interior covers a large area, from north to south, with a variety of real towns and cities for adventurous visitors to explore – as well as the highlights of Zomba Plateau and Mua Mission. This is an area for Africa aficionados, who want to experience the 'real Malawi'.
Nyika Plateau
In the far north of Malawi, Nyika is a rolling plateau dotted with stunning mountain outcrops. The Nyika National Park protects a large area of this rich plateau, noted for the endemic herbs, heathers and interesting plant-life found in its rolling, montane grasslands.
Shore of Lake Malawi
Looking along the shore of Lake Malawi there are many places to stay. The best are tucked into secluded coves, built on rocky islands and along the lake's golden beaches. Perfect destinations in themselves, each offers a range of activities, or make thoroughly relaxing beach retreats after a safari holiday in Zambia.
Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve
Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve protects marshes and wetlands which feed the Luangwa River. There is no restriction on game movements between Zambia and Vwaza, so the reserve harbours many species, including large herds of elephant & buffalo.
