Nyika National Park is scenically Malawi’s most
spectacular wild area. It boasts an incredible mixture
of scenery and landscapes – pristine brachystegia
woodland, mature montain forest patches, crystal
clear running streams and miles and miles of open
rolling grassland. Being situated at a mean height
of over 2,000 metres, guarantees a permanently
temperate climate, which is of particular contrast to
the lakeshore areas of Malawi. Days can be spent
walking, game driving and relaxing at camp. Game
that can be spotted on the Nyika Plateau include
Burchell’s zebra, roan antelope, mountain reedbuck,
eland, bushbuck, warthog, bushpig, leopard, spotted
hyena, side-striped jackal and serval. More |

areas, remain well hidden from most tourists . More |

A Malawian living in a rural area may be bitten by an infected mosquito 3 or 4 times a night and therefore constantly has malaria. He is not sick, as his immune system kills the parasites before they develop. However the constant battle may make him vaguely unwell and susceptible to other diseases, as his immune system is busy fighting malaria. More |

The Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (LSPCA) is a charity supported by RSPCA International and the first of its kind in Malawi. It was established to address many animal welfare concerns, including, the illegal selling of kittens and puppies on the side of the road. As an animal welfare charity, we are faced with serious problems ranging from animal abuse, neglect, the rising feral populations and sheer ignorance of the populace. Unfortunately this cuts across the wealthy and the poor communities.. More |
