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.
