Malawi

Explore the rich culture of Malawi

Malawi has been affectionately dubbed "the warm heart of Africa." This small country's most coveted feature is Lake Malawi, with clear waters and abundant tropical freshwater fish, perfect for snorkeling and kayaking. To experience a custom family safari, Liwonde National Park is an excellent location for game drives and walking safaris.

Malawi is a wonderful eco-tourism destination to volunteer your services as an ethical traveler and to be involved in grassroots change in an area where it still really counts. In the village of Cape Maclear, visit a vital water project to learn about efforts to bring clean water to local villagers and farms. Or, in the foothills of Mount Mulanje, gain a firsthand perspective on vulnerable children's challenges by visiting a children's home. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to this organization by helping with the daily program and playing, singing, and dancing with the children.

We are especially mindful when selecting the non-profit organizations we collaborate with to ensure they are ethical, professional, and follow best practices.
