For such a thin
sliver of a country, Malawi offers a variety of attractions: lakes,
mountains, forests, game parks and villages, most of which are well
off the tourist trail.
The main feature of the country and its primary attraction is Lake
Malawi, an enormous freshwater inland sea. The Lake Malawi National
Park is the world's first freshwater park. |

There are five national parks in Malawi
with some wildlife, such as elephants, zebra, hippo and crocodile.
There are large numbers of antelope and zebra in Nyika Plateau National
Park, and a considerable number of leopard, though you are unlikely
to see them. Smaller mammals include warthog and bush pig, and the
odd elephant and buffalo have been spotted on the lower slopes. |

Most people visit the tiny African
country of Malawi on the way to somewhere else, not knowing very much
about it. But travellers who stop may be pleasantly surprised. Many
stay a lot longer than expected.
The pace of life in Malawi is timeless. The cries of fish eagles,
the fishermen in dugouts silhouetted against the evening skies, and
the warm, sleepy atmosphere make it impossible not to relax. |
