THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA

摘要

Malawi is an undiscovered gem of serenity and natural beauty. This "warm heart of Africa" offers one of the friendliest welcomes anywhere in the world against a matchless backdrop of breathtaking landscapes, golden beaches, wildlife, and culture. The country's top tourist attraction is Lake Malawi, dubbed the 'lake of stars' by Scottish explorer David Livingstone when he came across it in 1859. With part of it now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the lake is home to an exceptional diversity of freshwater fish, many of which are endemic, and the crystal clear waters make it perfect for snorkeling and diving. For those who prefer dry land there is the opportunity to spot the Big Five game animals as well as antelope, hippopotamus, crocodile, and more than four hundred different species of bird at Majete Wildlife Reserve and Liwonde National Park.The ten-thousand foot Mount Mulanje accommodates both gentle hiking and serious climbing and is rumored to have inspired Tolkien.
