Several of Malawi’s National Parks provide a sanctuary for wildlife like crocodiles, elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, hippos, and rhinos.

Malawi offers numerous captivating historical and cultural sites with the opportunity to visit traditional Malawian villages and interact with the friendly locals for all travellers interested in culture.

With its exceptional culture, natural scenery, and friendliness, this unique African country is enchanting enough to captivate even the most seasoned traveller.

Some of the best places to visit in Malawi include Liwonde National Park (known for exceptional wildlife spotting), Kasungu National Park, Lilongwe (the capital city), Lake Malawi National Park, and Nyika National Park (the largest of its kind in the country, extending across the central Malawian plateaux).
