Lake Malawi
Lake Malawi's importance is seen in the trail of fishing villages and sandy getaways along its tideless shores. For several settlements, the Ilala ferry remains the principal transport. Fish bring food and income while beach resorts are key to growth of tourism.
Beach destinations offer luxurious island getaways, simple beach lodges and busier resort hotels with a full range of watersports. Islands of the lake range from the remote adventure of Domwe to the gentle way of life on Likoma, idyllic beaches and baobabs.
Deep Lake Malawi is Africa's third largest by volume and dominates Malawi, stretching nearly 600 kilometres. Most of its water running from the Rift Valley escarpment with a sole outlet in the Shire River to the south.
The lake is historically notable for the slave trade and Livingstone's travels and lakeside mission stations.
