General Information

Malawi is a land-locked country in Africa bordered by Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia. Malawi has been described as "Africa for beginners" due to its small size and relative safety.  The beauty of this country, the diversity of its environment and the friendliness of its people ensures that tourists to Malawi will always return.

The main languages spoken here are English and Chichewa, with the majority of the population being Christian.  The months of May to August are usually the cool and dry season, while September to mid-November can be hot and dry, and then hot and wet mid-November to April.  The best times to visit Malawi would be during the dry season from May to mid-November.

The most profound feature of Malawi would have to be Lake Malawi. It was come upon by Dr David Livingstone approximately 150 years ago and is the third-largest lake in Africa. With its gleaming mass of water, secret inlets and unspoilt beaches, it is a sight to behold.  Lake Malawi is one of the best freshwater diving areas in the world and also one of the cheapest spots in which to learn how to dive.


On the eastern border with Mozambique lies Mulanje, a place of abundant produce and tourism potential. Many tourist trek to this district for mountain hike and horse trails. It has awesome view. Mt Mulanje is 9,849 feet high – quite a climb, but not requiring special equipment or training. Please note that the weather on the mountain is very unpredictable and caution must be taken when venturing on any excursions.
