Malawi Holidays
Malawi is one of the fastest growing destinations in terms of popularity in the world and if you haven't been yet, you are missing out. In the past, Malawi tended to be neglected by travellers: little known, small and hidden in the Great East African Rift Valley. Even today, it remains unspoilt by the mass tourism that has been the fate of other countries. Approaching 45,000 square miles /120,000 square kilometres in area; the country epitomises the saying ‘small is beautiful’. Landlocked it may be but it has its own inland ‘sea’ - the stunningly beautiful Lake Malawi.
It is the unique combination of landscape, wildlife, lake and, of course, the people which makes Malawi one of Africa’s most amazing countries. This is one of the safest and friendliest countries in the whole continent, offering you a fascinating variety of sights and experiences. The diversity of landscapes, the huge lake and the national parks and reserves provide the foundation for the unrivalled choice of safaris, water sports and outdoor activities on offer

Southern Region
What will you choose to do in Southern Malawi?
The most populated, developed and varied region of the country is its southern third. Much of South Malawi is dominated by the River Shire which snakes its way from the Lake while remaining within the Rift Valley. It crashes over falls and rapids and has leisurely stretches though broad plains. A mixture of highlands and plateaux, this is also the region with the most visited game park and most popular stretch of lakeshore
