Malawi is a small country – by African standards – but its size belies its varied landscape. From the central region’s white beaches and desert islands, it expands to the remote north where highlands meet hippo-filled swamps, and to the south’s mist-shrouded mountains. This off-the-beaten-track escape captivates visitors with its country wildlife, alluring lakes, and vibrant culture.
