Viphya Plateau

The Viphya Mountains also known as the Viphya Plateau lie in the north of central Malawi and form an elongated mountain range of more than two hundred kilometres. The area consists largely of high lying hills, forests and farmland with an average altitude of one thousand seven hundred to two thousand metres. But also a place where active work is being done on nature conservation. Local organisations and lodges work to protect the forest from deforestation and illegal logging and to restore indigenous tree species.

By staying here you support these initiatives directly, the income from eco tourism helps local communities manage their environment in a sustainable way. It is the ideal place for nature lovers and adventurers who enjoy hiking and exploring. Because of the pine forests, the rolling hills and the emptiness you almost imagine yourself in Scotland or Switzerland. It is actually a rather un-African destination which makes it interesting, fun and unique.
