Resting on the banks of the Lilongwe River, the sprawling, bustling city of Lilongwe serves as the capital of Malawi. It is the largest city in Malawi and is the economic and transport hub of the country. It features thriving markets, lush green spaces, and a rich cultural heritage. While the city has all of the twentieth-century urban developments, it retains the appearance of a traditional African settlement. The Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, in the heart of Lilongwe, provides a sanctuary for local wildlife seeking refuge. Other sights worth seeing include the Kumbali Cultural Centre, offering the opportunity to view traditional Malawian dancing and drumming; as well as the nearby Chongoni Rock Art Area featuring over 127 sites displaying ancient rock art.

Senga is located at the tip of a broad peninsula jutting into the eastern part of Lake Malawi, 16 kilometres from Salima. The picturesque area boasts a long stretch of sandy beach, and numerous hotels, lodges and campsites. Not as touristy as nearby Cape Maclear, Senga offers wonderful scenes for photography. Fishing boats line the sands, and the shore bustles with playing children. By night the culture of the area comes alive with music. The neighbouring town of Salima is an important commercial and trading centre and is home to a wonderful market and all the modern luxuries and services.

Mumbo Island is an ecotourist’s dream. Measuring just one square kilometre across, this remote islet is virtually uninhabited and covered with pristine miombo forests interspersed with ancient fig and baobab trees. It is surrounded by the calm, crystal clear waters of Lake Malawi, where you can swim and snorkel amidst schools of vividly coloured tropical fish. You may also encounter the island’s sole mammal inhabitant - playful and curious Spotted-necked Otters. The only resort on the island is built from sustainable natural materials that blend beautifully into the pristine surrounds.

The town of Mulanje lies at the base of Mount Mulanje, Central Africa’s highest mountain, and the gateway to its trekking trails. This giant massif measures over 3 000 metres at its zenith and covers more than 500 square kilometres. A wide array of trails range from easy strolls around the lower slopes to strenuous climbs up its peaks. Along the way are pools, waterfalls, granite gorges and ancient cedar forests, with trees standing as tall as 30 metres. You will also encounter rich wildlife such as Dwarf Chameleons, Forest Butterflies, antelope and myriad birds. Besides being a hiking Mecca, Mulanje is surrounded by lush tea plantations that can be explored on a guided tour. It is easily accessible from the city of Blantyre.

Liwonde National Park, located in Malawi, the "warm heart of Africa," has seen spectacular wildlife translocations, reintroductions, and makeovers. When African Parks took over management of Liwonde in 2015, in collaboration with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), the park was riddled with tens of thousands of wire snares – more snares than large animals – and had some of the region's highest levels of human-wildlife conflict. Liwonde was a park in terminal decline, on the verge of catastrophic collapse, and on the verge of not being able to be restored at all.

However, in just five years, Liwonde has developed one of the best ranger forces and training grounds in Southern Africa, implemented cutting-edge technology to safeguard and monitor wildlife and management activities, dismantled over 40,000 wire snares, and arranged historic animal reintroductions. In 2016, the park was the site of one of the world's largest elephant translocations. In order to relieve pressure on Liwonde's natural habitats and to address the park's fatal human-wildlife conflict scenario, 336 elephants were transported from Liwonde to Malawi's Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve.

African Parks began re-establishing Liwonde's predator population and reintroduced cheetahs in 2017, bringing the species back to the park after a 100-year absence. A founding population of ten lions was also reintroduced from Majete Wildlife Reserve in South Africa in 2018. In addition, the park recently hosted one of the largest international black rhino translocations in history, with 17 black rhino from South Africa being transported to the park to increase population numbers and genetics. Liwonde's wildlife populations are increasing, as is the number of visitors who come to see the park's rebirth, with over 23,000 tourists visiting the area in 2019. Liwonde has been given a second chance in just a few short years, and it is being restored and transformed for the benefit of the wildlife and the people who live here.

Located in Central Malawi, Kuti Wildlife Reserve is a sanctuary stretching over 2000 hectares of unspoilt terrain. The reserve plays a large role in developing responsible tourism through sustainable conservation, environmental education and community outreach programmes. This beautiful landscape features diverse habitats including savannah, grasslands, forests and wetlands inhabited by a wide selection of wildlife such as giraffe, sable and abundant zebra. Visitors can learn about Malawi’s conservation efforts at Kuti, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and serenity and watch the African sun set over the reserve’s wetlands.
