FACTFILE... on Malawi

By Tara Dundon

MALAWI is a landlocked country in south-eastern Africa.
It is bordered by Zambia to the north-west, Tanzania to the north and Mozambique, which surrounds it on the east, south and west.

Malawi’s most prominent physical feature is Lake Malawi, some 360 miles long and about 1,500ft above sea level.

Like an inland sea it has endless palm fringed beaches, enclosed by sheer mountains.

The country’s official language is English.

Malawi has a population of about 12 million.

Their currency is called the Kwacha.
