Malawi

Malawi is a small, landlocked country in southeastern Africa defined largely by the vast lake that shares its name — a freshwater sea stretching nearly the full length of its eastern border. Plateau highlands, tea-covered hills, and the Great Rift Valley escarpment shape the interior, while the rhythm of daily life stays closely tied to agriculture and the water.

About Malawi

Overview

Malawi sits in southeastern Africa, bordered by Tanzania to the north, Mozambique to the east and south, and Zambia to the west. The capital is Lilongwe; Blantyre is the main commercial hub. Chichewa and English are the official languages, and the Malawian kwacha is the currency. The country is one of the most densely populated in Africa, with a culture grounded in Bantu traditions and notable for its reputation for warmth toward outsiders.
