self-drive Malawi

Landlocked between Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, you will find one of Africa’s more discreet destinations - Malawi. Holidays here are known to be relaxed affairs; it's the Malawian way. This atmosphere being led by the people who are known to the friendliest in Africa. You'll quickly grasp why Malawi is often called the 'Warm Heart of Africa'.

Malawi has few safari destinations as such. Instead, you will notice the productive green lands and several small traditional farms. That said, Liwonde and Majete National Park have been making more of a case for themselves over the years.

Malawi's most famous attraction is its lake - the physical and spiritual backbone of the country. Lake Malawi stretches over 300 miles and covers more than 20% of the country in water. It feels like the sea but in-land; it extraordinary.

Away from the lake, there are three high plateaux's, Nyika, Zomba and Mulanje, which tower above the rolling farmlands. They are ideal for gentle hiking holidays amidst moorlands and forests.
