Essentials in Malawi

Cape Maclear: If it's a beach holiday you're after, head to Cape Maclear, a small fishing village at the tip of a peninsula that juts out into the lake. The crystal clear waters are a call from heaven and the beaches are sandy and golden.

Liwonde National Park: Want to go on a safari? This park is more than five hundred square kilometres large and is known for its remarkable wildlife, from hippos to eagles.

Zomba: There is something pretty incredible about finding fine British architecture in the middle of Africa. Zomba nods back to the days of British colonialism and is famous for its colonial architecture and the Zomba Plateau which rises to the west of the city. The handicraft market is the perfect place to shop for souvenirs.
