Malawi
The warm heart of Africa
Malawi is described by many well-known slogans; for instance it’s often called “Africa for beginners”, “The warm heart of Africa” and “The land of lake”. The country is famous for its warm, exuberant and welcoming locals found amongst the lively fishing villages, which are dotted along the shores of Lake Malawi. Not far from these villages one can explore the sublime dense, green forests rich in wildlife. The hassle-free travel experience makes Malawi an ideal travel destination for those less experienced, as one easily feels at home and comforted by the locals and many things to do.
