Why Malawi?

There is no country in all of Africa that has its geography so sculptured and determined by Africa’s Great Rift Valley. The country’s central spine is the western edge of this wondrous geographical feature and Lake Malawi and the Shire River form the valley floor. Towering mountains, lush, fertile valley floors and enormous crystal-clear lakes are hallmarks of much of the Rift Valley – and Malawi displays them all. Fertile soils are a feature of the Rift Valley and evidence of this is to be found everywhere in Malawi.
