Malawi

Malawi, also called 'The Warm Heart of Africa', is a landlocked nation in southeast Africa that shares borders with Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. Migrations of Bantu tribes settled it in the tenth century, and the British colonized it in 1891. Malawi, formerly known as Nyasaland and a protectorate of the UK, was made a protectorate within the loosely confederated Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1953; this relationship ended in 1963. A year later, Nyasaland was renamed Malawi and attained independence under Queen Elizabeth II. Two years later, it attained independence and became a republic.

The Bantu people moved across Africa and into Malawi for hundreds of years until the fifteenth century, and many of the Malawians living there today are descended from them. Malawi is a country that welcomes everyone who wants to experience the unparalleled combination of environment, wildlife, and culture in one of Africa's most beautiful and diverse countries.
