Why visit Malawi?
Known as “The Warm Heart of Africa,” Malawi offers heartfelt hospitality paired with jaw-dropping natural beauty. Lake Malawi is ideal for snorkeling and kayaking, while tea plantations and the Nyika Plateau offer serenity. The capital Lilongwe and Blantyre bring local life and markets into view. Though not central in the transatlantic slave trade, Malawi’s communal traditions and music share familiar themes with diasporic cultures. Homestays, village visits, and drumming circles create authentic exchanges and gentle pathways to reconnection.
