Mount Mulanje

The scale of this truly magnificent mountain must be seen to be appreciated. Its bare rock flanks tower to almost 3000m, dwarfing all that surrounds it. It lies to the east of Blantyre and is easily accessible. Visitors can drive around the foot of the massif in a day, but even more attractive is to trek and camp on the mountains. There are choices between quite gentle walking and serious climbing. An arrangement can be made to hire camping equipment and the services of guides. Further information about hiking on Mulanje can be found in this folder.

Once on the mountain, the vegetation changes with altitude, and there’s plenty of wildlife from the klipspringer, a tiny antelope, to various other small mammals and, of course, a variety of birds. The latter include buzzard, the black eagle and countless white-necked ravens. Fishing for trout is possible in the River Lichenya which drains the south-western slopes.
