warm heart of africa

The name 'Malawi' is believed to come from a native word meaning 'flaming water' or 'tongues of fire', referring to the dazzling reflections the sun makes on the waters of the lake. A fifth of the country is covered by water in the form of lakes and rivers. The beautiful landscapes, fascinating wildlife, and rich culture of its friendly people make Malawi a wonderful place to visit. The Malawian people are, without doubt, its greatest asset.

Malawi lies within the Great African Rift Valley, with its lake being the most prominent feature. Much of the land surface is a high plateau, with rugged highlands in the north, and lowlands of the Shire Valley in the south.
Of the many languages spoken, English is the official language while Chichewa is the national language, spoken by almost half the population. There are numerous other languages also spoken in the country.
For most activities, the best time to visit is the dry season from early May to late October. Malawi's best weather is in August, with July being the coolest month.
