Malawi has an incredible variety of stunning landscapes. The unique rolling hills of orchid clad Nyika; the cool forested plateau of Zomba; the 10,000 feet climbers’ paradise of Mulanje Massif; the broad and fertile Shire Valley. From rugged highlands to lowland plains - the scene is ever changing. 

Malawi’s nine Wildlife Reserves offer true unspoilt wilderness. Experience the thrill of safaris as they used to be, staying in just a handful of exclusive lodges. The only crowds are the animals: lions and leopards; elephants and hippos; antelope and rhino. And the best bird life in the region.

Hundreds of miles of tropical golden sand beaches line Africa’s third largest lake. Lake Malawi is a true inland sea - and tideless. Relax in the sun on an uncrowded beach, hand-feed tropical fish at the world’s first freshwater National Park or enjoy the water sports (expert tuition available).

Malawi's capital city, Lilongwe can be found in the Central Region on a 1000m high plain, about 300km north of Blantyre. There are two distinct parts to the city – Old Town, the original Lilongwe, which features busy African markets and many Asian shops, hotels and restaurants – New Town, which is less than 20 years old and hosts the main Government Buildings, Diplomatic Missions, International Aid Agencies and the Reserve Bank Headquarters which ranks amongst one of the most unique examples of architecture in Lilongwe.

There are new shopping precincts, hypermarkets, hotels and restaurants, all accessible by wide roads of a generally good standard. Traffic is not heavy and there is a relaxed atmosphere to life in Lilongwe.
