There is a wealth of plant and animal life to be found in Malawi, with nine national parks and wildlife reserves. Small country, Malawi is especially popular as a beach destination, offering excellent snorkeling opportunities for couples and youth. A pleasant day trip from South Luangwa, Malawi is an excellent complement to your Zambia safari itinerary.
Malawi does not have the vast population of large mammals as Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. This area provides exclusive wildlife viewing in unspoilt areas of genuine wilderness, which makes up for its lack of tourism infrastructure. It has been described as the “Warm Heart of Africa”. The ‘Big 5,' which are the most popular animals in Africa, can now be found in Malawi's Parks and Reserves. Malawi Lake is a beach and scuba diving paradise, with Africa's third largest lake in Africa.
South Malawi is largely controlled by Blantyre with the Shire Valley and Mulanje Mountain providing a physical barrier. Home to many national parks, including Lake Malawi National Park and Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, there is plenty of variety for tourists to experience. On the other hand, North Malawi is characterised by its great highlands in the remote areas.
The lake of Malawi is the perfect destination for a relaxing beach getaway. With its clear waters and sandy beaches, it's easy to see why this Lake is such a popular spot for vacationers. Situated on the picturesque Likoma island in Lake Malawi, Kaya Mawa is perfect for a safari getaway. If you're looking for a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere on your next holiday, Malawi is the perfect destination for the Africa Tourism Industry. You'll be welcomed warmly by the locals and enjoy all that this beautiful country has to offer.

As for travel advice, the best time to visit Malawi is during the dry season between May and October. Summer months are more pleasant, with bright light, fresh evenings, and temperatures ranging from 18°C to 33°C. Temperatures start to climb in September and stay in the high twenties and early thirties until April, when it rains. The heaviest rains in the rainy season are generally in December, January, and February. Because of Malawi's diverse geography, local variations in weather are significant. The areas of the lake shore that are lower in elevation are warmer all year round. The temperature in the highlands is refreshingly cool during the day, but it can get quite cold at night, especially during winter.
US Dollars are widely accepted throughout the country. Visitors should try the public transport to enter Malawi.

The food was excellent and the gardens and facilities were well-maintained and gorgeous. A really special place to relax and unwind - and if you are a bird-watcher, there is plenty to see

I didn't expect so much beauty. Birds and lizards everywhere, fish eagles flying, and a great choice of accommodation types, from wild platforms over the water's edge to luxurious villas with world class views. Beautiful garden with hammocks but also wild footpaths with pure nature.
