Takulandirani Malawi
Malawi offers a stunning journey for students, with beautiful people, impressive landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
School groups can experience the country’s expansive highlands and beautiful lakes, all combining to create a striking landscape.
On your trip, you will swim the tropical waters of Lake Malawi, home to a colourful and diverse number of animals, wind through the rocky peaks of Mt. Mulanje, tour the bustling streets of Lilongwe, and marvel at the beautiful rock art in Chingoni which dates back to the Iron Age.
This spectacular country offers everything an adventure enthusiast needs, and the project work is the perfect way to contribute something back into the communities you stay with.
You will be struck by the incredible warmth and friendliness of the Malawian people as you swap stories with them, and your interaction will leave you enriched.
The ‘warm heart of Africa’ never disappoints!
