Someday we will visit Lake Malawi National Park or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Lake Malawi National Park

Lake Malawi National Park is in Southern Malawi and an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Dr. David Livingstone discovered Lake Nyassa, as it was then called, in 1859, and by 1875 the Scottish Presbyterian Church had set up a mission on Cape Maclear. A large baobab tree, purportedly over 800 years old, is said to have been a favourite of Livingstone as a place where he could give sermons and speak with other missionaries. The graves of five early missionaries are also in the park.
