Nyika National Park, Malawi: Offbeat Tourist Destination

The great domes of underlying hills have gentle slopes teeming with wildlife – making Nyika perfect for wildlife safaris, trekking and mountain biking. While in malawi, you must visit Mulanje Massif mountain standing at around 3,000 metres.

The dominating mountain is distinguished by giant basins of rock and narrow gullies cut by fast-flowing streams. Expect to encounter monkeys, hares, voles and a carpet of wildflowers as you meander through the valleys. Lake Malawi is one of the largest lakes in the world. The lake has more tropical fish than any lake in the world and the freshwater diving is great.
