Malawi is a trouble-free, but you should be aware of the
global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be
against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
Malawi can offer visitors
unique scenery, rare
wildlife and
stunning valleys. Evergreen forests and waterfalls can
be viewed from the heights of the plateaus. Activities are central to any visit. The national parks are attractive places for wildlife and game
viewing in the most
unspoilt of settings. Safe from the tarred roads and convoys of tourists,
visitors can trek in entirely
natural surroundings.
Malawi has nine national parks and wildlife
reserves, six of which are especially recommended for
visitors. There are also many attractive and accessible forest reserves. All the parks and
reserves are uncrowded and give visitors an excellent experience of unspoilt wilderness.
Its most famous feature must be Lake Malawi, which stretches
from the northern tip of the country to Mangochi in the south. Some of the rarest
tropical fish in the
world are unique to this vast lake, and it is also home to varieties of eagle and kingfisher.
Due to its unspoilt
environment and prolific game, Liwonde
National Park is
generally regarded as the best game reserve in Malawi. It covers 550 sq
kilometres (212 sq miles) of mopane and savanna woodland on the floodplains of
the River Shire and Lake
Malombe in the south of the
country. Wildlife includes large herds of elephant, hippos, crocodiles,
antelope, zebra, warthogs, bushback and sable. In addition, visitors can also
see lions and leopards.
The river plains are home to many species of bird.
Plants and trees found in Liwonde National Park include the baobab, a large
native African tree bearing a gourd-like fruit with a delicious pulp. Despite
the incredible sigths, the park is still relatively peaceful and
uncommercialised.
