OVERVIEW

Mulanje is a dramatic mountain region in southern Malawi, with steep granite faces, waterfalls and broad high plateaux above tea growing foothills. Villages and estates occupy the lower slopes, while mountain huts support longer routes. Port sits alongside villages, placing the principal sights within a broader inhabited landscape. Mountain terrain occupies a different part of the destination from forest, giving the wider area a clear physical structure, with waterfalls providing an additional point of connection.
