Lake Malawi

Undoubtedly Malawi's most well-known and popular tourist attraction, Lake Malawi is an immense Rift valley lake that covers over half of the country's length and is Africa's third largest lake. Approximately 600km from north to south and around 80km at its widest point, the crystal clear fresh water and golden sand beaches create a fascinating and fun-filled addition to any African safari experience.

Lake Malawi is widely regarded as an evolutionary masterpiece with more species of fish occurring in Lake Malawi's tropical waters than any other body of freshwater on Earth. Central to this is the presence of hundreds of species of cichlid fish that are found nowhere else and have adapted and evolved to occupy different niches within the lakes varying ecosystems.

Luxury lodges and resorts, a multitude of watersports, sun-kissed beaches, warm azure waters and home to some of Africa's most welcoming and warm hosts makes Lake Malawi the perfect standalone or combination holiday destination.
