is blessed with no less than nine national parks and wildlife reserves. In the
north are the unique Nyika Plateau and the Vwasa Reserve. These complement each
other, one a highland, the other a lowland marsh area. The central region has
two vast game areas; Kasungu National Park in the west and Nkhotakota Reserve
in the east, near the Lake. To the south, the best known national park is Liwonde,
along the River Shire, but there are also three game areas further south in the
Shire Lowlands: Lengwe National Park and the wildlife reserves of Majete and Mwabvi.
Near the southern end of Lake Malawi is the world’s first freshwater national
park at Cape Maclear. Malawi is also ideally situated and can be combined with
extensions to Mozambique, Zambia, South Africa.
The
big five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) can be seen in Malawi as
well as a splendid range of antelope and other smaller cats such as caracel and
serval. Hippos are to be found in large numbers, so much so that they are almost
symbolic of Malawi’s prolific wildlife. The variety of fish, over 600 species,
to be seen in the Lake Malawi National Park is unequalled anywhere else in the
world. Malawi’s birdlife is renowned. Best known is the fish eagle to be seen
at the Lake and along the River Shire but, as with the Lake’s fish, the range
of species is breathtaking. A safari in Malawi is sure to be a memorable experience;
plenty of game but none of those convoys of 4x4 vehicles characteristic of some
other African game parks. Malawi offers all type of safari - walking, horse riding,
by boat or in a 4x4. Malawi

Lake
Malawi is ideal for yachting, sailing, water based activities as well as fishing.
Lake Malawi occupies one fifth of the country’s total area. It is the third largest
lake in Africa. Its approximate dimensions are 365 miles (590 km) north to south
and 52 miles (85 km) broad, hence the sobriquet: "the calendar lake". The Lake
drains an area larger than Malawi itself yet, surprisingly, only one river, the
Shire (pronounced "shiray" – the old spelling) flows from it. Eventually, the
water spills into the Indian Ocean via the River Zambezi. The surface of the Lake
is 1550ft (470m) above sea level. In the north it is quite extraordinarily deep:
2300ft (700m), plunging well below sea level. For much of the year the
Lake is placid, a gentle giant, but, especially when strong winds blow north or
south, it can become an angry monster. Because of its potentially rich harvest
of fish, the Lake plays an important part in the country’s economy. Fishing villages
are scattered along the length of the lakeshore and the traditional industry and
practices are an attraction to visitors. Access to the Lake is possible along
much of its length but it should be noted that it is usually necessary to take
a short detour off the main roads in order to reach the beach. The lake
is lined with miles of unspoilt beaches, fringed with palm trees and baobabs,
and filled with clear, warm water. You can kayak to its scattered islands, snorkel
around the submerged boulders with their colourful populations of cychlid fish
or merely watch for exotic birdlife from your hammock on an isolated beach. Safari
through the romantic African landscapes, home to a variety of wildlife and an
enormous diversity of birds, and enjoy a variety of comfortable and remote accommodation
options. Malawi is such an appealing, easy-going destination that it features
on many of the Africa overland tours. But there are also specific tours or luxury
options such as an eight-day fly-in safari that takes in the wilderness highlights
of Malawi and Zambia. | |
