Lake Malawi, also known as Lake Nyasa, is the third largest lake
in Africa; formed in a deep trough of the East African Rift Valley that runs through
Malawi, from north to south.
In 1859, David Livingstone - born in Blantyre, Scotland - became the
first European to reach the shores of Lake Malawi; although it was probably sighted by the
Portuguese in the 17th century.
From the southern end of the lake, the River Shire flows out to join
the Zambezi in Mozambique, which in turn empties into the
Indian Ocean through many mouths.
Lilongwe has been the capital of Malawi since 1975. The previous
capital was Zomba.
Situated in Central Malawi, the capital has little of interest to
travellers. Most people prefer to head for Lake Nyasa.

Blantyre,
Lilongwe, Mangochi, Salima.
Blantyre, named after the birthplace of David Livingstone, was
founded by Scottish missionaries, in 1876.
It is the largest city in Malawi, and the transport hub for travel to Zimbabwe; through the Tete corridor of Mozambique.
During the civil war, in Mozambique, lorries would drive between
Malawi and Zimbabwe in convoys; escorted by the Zimbabwean army.
For a small payment to one of the lorry drivers, this was an exciting
journey for travellers.
