Best for: A freshwater lake with more fish species than any other, and parks brought back from nothing
Malawi in 9 days: Liwonde's elephants, Mount Mulanje and the lake
Lilongwe → Liwonde → Zomba → Mulanje → Cape Maclear → Lilongwe
A lake holding more species of fish than any other on earth, two national parks rebuilt from near-empty within a decade, and a granite massif rising three thousand metres straight off the plain — in the country that calls itself the warm heart of Africa and largely earns it.
