MALAWI ~ The Warm Heart of Africa ~

... Beautiful postcard coming from Malawi known as đź’›"The Warm Heart of Africa"đź’›... because of the kindness of its people... this small landlocked country is one of the safest places in Africa... and one of the best-kept secrets... tourism mostly revolves around its namesake lake and its beaches... but the country has the potential to become a top safari destination like its neighboring countries... it was recently crowned as one of Lonely Planet's Best in Travel Top Countries for 2022đź‘Ť... it is densely populated, with many of its people living below the poverty line...Thanks Isabelle!

Malawi is a country in Southeastern Africa, neighbored by Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania and Lake Victoria. It achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1964. 

Malawi's capital and largest city is Lilongwe. 

An area of some 118,000 square kilometres (one fifth is Lake Malawi) makes Malawi one of the smallest countries in this region of Africa.

The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the area.
