King African Rifles Monument

From 1902 to the 1960s, the King's African Rifles (KAR) was a multi-battalion British colonial regiment established from Britain's different East African colonies. During World Wars I and II, it operated in both military and internal security roles within colonial territories, as well as serving beyond these areas. The King African Rifles Monument is an outstanding red-brick memorial honoring Malawi's soldiers who fought in WWI and WWII. The King's African Rifles were formed in 1902 when the British forces in East and Central Africa were merged and renamed.


Climb the stairs to the little hill's monument to discover more about the battalion's valor, which was demonstrated on battlefronts all around the world. The neighboring park's lush foliage and trees create a peaceful environment, making this an excellent area to sit and reflect in peace. This is a place of great significance, built to express the gratitude of the next generation for those who have sacrificed to protect the country. It really deserves to be on the list the most beautiful historical sites in Malawi.
