UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Malawi

Lake Malawi National Park

Lake Malawi National Park is located at the southern end of Lake Malawi. This vast, beautiful expanse of water contains hundreds of species of fish, nearly all endemic, which constitute a critically important resource in the study of evolution. From Cape Maclear, the National Park can be explored by sailing, kayaking or snorkelling or just soaking up the views from the beach.
