Lake Malawi
The major motivation for visiting Malawi is to see Lake Malawi.This is one of the things about Malawi you should know before travelling. It's partly due to its sheer magnitude. From the northern to the southern tip, it is 350 miles long. This makes it the world's ninth largest lake, as well as Africa's third largest and second deepest (eclipsed by Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika).
According to Unesco, it has more fish species than any other lake on earth, including 700 different types of cichlids (tiny, colorful, befinned creatures that flit and flutter in its shallows). Swimming in non-designated places is not recommended due to the presence of venomous crocodiles.
The jewel of Malawi's tourist attractions is Lake Malawi. For Malawians, it's like an inland sea. The lake is bordered by beautiful golden beaches, which allow guests to swim in the crystal-clear water. In other words, it's a lovely, evocative location. The thousands of fishing boats that glide across its surface at night, their lamps visible from shore, earned it the moniker "Lake of Stars" by Livingstone.
