Malawi Highlights and Events

Travel in Malawi with Intrepid

Flag
Nestled between some of East Africa's blockbuster destinations is Malawi, a country small in geography but large in appeal. Malawi is full of contrasts, the most obvious being that it's a nation of fisherman - despite being landlocked - owing to the clear waters of Lake Malawi; it boasts verdant highlands and tropical forests, undulating valleys and exceptional game viewing within its national parks. Malawi is also home to some of the continent's friendliest folk, meaning it's a country well worth considering on your African agenda.
