The Central Region Malawi
Senga Bay, near the market town of Salima, is the main lakeshore resort of the central region. Lizard Island, home to many varieties of lizard and eagle, is one of many off-shore islands.
About an hour’s drive west from Salima is Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe. Alongside the traditional Old Town, with interesting markets, is the modern city and seat of government with its imaginative architecture in a garden setting. There is a wide range of hotels in Lilongwe.
Northwest of the capital is the vast Kasungu National Park with a great variety of wildlife and excellent accommodation. North of Lilongwe is the famous Kamuzu Academy (the ‘Eton of Africa’). This is also the region supplying much of the country’s important tobacco crop.
