Malawi and Zambia

Introduction to the Malawi and Zambia expedition Malawi lies between Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique and is the home of Lake Malawi (described by David Livingstone as ‘the lake of stars’), the third largest lake in Africa covering a fifth of the country. The Great Rift Valley runs through it from the highland areas of the north to the great Mulanje Massif in the south of the country. Often described as ‘the warm heart of Africa’, the Malawi people live up to this with their gentle and welcoming ways.

Zambia is the ‘real’ Africa and, despite its growing popularity, remains a true wilderness. The country’s sheer size, 750,000 sq km (the size of France, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary put together), basic infrastructure and diversity of cultures will prove a challenge for the teams. Its population includes thirty five different ethnic groups, all with their own language. However English is widely spoken enabling the team to communicate with local people and experience village life.
