The clear blue waters of Lake Malawi stretch 600km across almost the entire length of Malawi. The white beaches and beautiful sunsets are legendary. Swim, snorkel and dive for creatures that can be only found in Lake Malawi. Sundowners are, for once, not in game drive vehicles but in boats! The 13 million people in Malawi are known for their friendliness and they will read your wishes from your lips. The mountains and plateaus are part of the faults of the Rift Valley, forming an interesting contrast to the lake. The plateau of Nyika National Park is a wonderful place to explore, and you can do so on horsebacks.
