Few countries are so dominated by one geographical feature as Malawi is by its great lake. Enveloped by mountains, and trimmed by white sand beaches and swaying palms, this is the perfect spot to unwind after a safari.
It also plays host to ‘The Lake of the Stars Festival’ in October each year, with acclaimed musicians from Malawi and the world coming to town and performing live on the lakeshore.
Staying in a beautiful beachfront lodge, you can visit Likoma Island, home to one of the largest cathedrals in Africa, or take to the water on your own private yacht.
