From Wildlife to Waterfalls: The Best Things to Do in Malawi

2

Malawi, often called the “Warm Heart of Africa,” is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers. The country, celebrated for its breathtaking scenic diversity and legendary friendliness, offers an experience that blends wildlife, culture, and relaxation. Your adventure begins at the vast Lake Malawi, perfect for snorkeling among colorful cichlid fish and enjoying sunset views with a meal of local chambo. For wildlife enthusiasts, Majete Wildlife Reserve now offers a chance to see the Big Five following the remarkable recovery of its wildlife population. Visitors can also hike the towering Mount Mulanje, party under the stars at the annual Lake of Stars Malawi Art Festival, and wander through Livingstonia’s historic hilltop village with sweeping escarpment views. And for those seeking quieter escapes, Zomba’s plateau forests and Liwonde’s elephant encounters add unforgettable charm. Whether it’s exploring islands, tasting local dishes, or supporting community projects, Malawi’s mix of beauty, adventure, and warmth makes it a destination worth discovering.
