Chapter I · Southern Region · 15 places
Southern Region
A table mountain rising to about 2,000 meters above the old colonial capital, laced with trout streams, cedar forest, and miles of walking trails. Viewpoints such as Emperor's View look out across the Shire Highlands toward Mount Mulanje on clear days. Horse riding and mountain-biking outfits operate from the plateau-top lodges.

Northern Region
A Malawian island enclave inside Mozambican waters, reached by the veteran ferry Ilala or light aircraft. Its outsized Anglican cathedral, built of local granite in the early 1900s, rivals European churches in scale. Baobab-studded hills, empty beaches, and a slow island rhythm reward those who make the crossing.
