MALAWI - WARM HEART OF AFRICA
Malawi, lying to the south of Tanzania and the east of Zambia, has the beautiful Lake Malawi as its focal point. Here you can find the largest number of fish species in the world.
Spectacular beaches, kayaking, diving, fishing and sailing complement
game viewing in Liwonde National Park and horseback safaris on the
remote Nyika Plateau. Superb accommodation, a wonderful climate and some of Africa's
friendliest people make Malawi the warmest heart of Africa. It combines
well with Zambia and South Africa.
