A mission town founded in 1894 on an escarpment 900 meters above Lake Malawi, reached by a famously twisting 20-hairpin dirt road. Its stone church, museum, and university buildings preserve an intact Victorian mission ensemble. Nearby Manchewe Falls plunges off the plateau, with a cave behind the water once used as a refuge from slave raids.

Where next?
