Malawi
Zomba Plateau Accommodation
The Zomba Plateau is a forested mountain range located south of Lake Malawi. It offers cooler temperatures and a distinct change in scenery from the lower plains. The plateau is characterized by pine and cedar forests, waterfalls, and panoramic viewpoints, including the famous 'Queen's View'. Activities include hiking, horse riding, and exploring the numerous forest trails. The cooler climate and lush vegetation attract a variety of bird species. The former colonial capital of Zomba lies at its base, offering historical context and local markets.
