Guide 2 Malawi
Malawi is a poor country. The population in 1996 was estimated at about 10 million although this may still have included a very substantial number of refugees from the war in Mozambique, whom Malawi hosted in those troubled times.
Urbanisation continues as fewer people are able to survive from rural activities and there are large concentrations of people around the cities - the capital, Lilongwe, business centre Blantyre (and twin suburb Limbe), the first, and still the academic, capital of Zomba and the fastest growing northern city of Mzuzu.
In the south, there is intense cultivation - and population - while in the north the people live in scattered villages and the traditional way of life is more prevalent.

Getaway Africa - Malawi Malawi is aptly called "The warm heart of Africa" due to its friendly people, green rolling hills with thatched villages and a translucent lake inviting newcomers to enjoy its tranquillity. Although it is a small country one should spend at least a week here to experience all the scenic attractions such as the numerous lakes, rivers, mountain ranges and game reserves.
