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.
