Lake Malawi, also known as Lake Nyasa, is in east Africa and one of and third among largest East African Rift Valley Lakes. In 1616, a Portuguese, named Casper Boccaro, reported this lake, and the person who reach here first by south in 1859 was a British explorer named David Living Stone.

Lake Malawi, known locally as Lake Nyasa, is the ninth largest lake in the world and lies between the countries of Malawi on the west and Tanzania and Mozambique on the east. It is 360 miles long and 25 miles wide, with an approximate area of 8,683 sq mi, and reaches depths of 2,300 feet. The lake has a visibility of up to 70 feet.

Lake Malawi contains a greater variety of indigenous species of Cichlid fishes than any other lake in the world. World Wildlife Fund researchers have identified over 500 species to date that are not found anywhere else in the world. That is more than all of the freshwater species found in all the waters of both Europe and North America. The Cichlids of Lake Malawi, perhaps even more so than the Cichlids from the other two rift lakes, are brightly colored and patterned. For this reason, they have been a big hit with aquarists all over the world.

Lake Malawi is perhaps the best freshwater dive holiday destination, as there is probably as much to do and see, above the water as there is below. When you're not exploring the crystal clear waters of the lake, one can go on Safari at the National Parks, or on excursions to explore the wilderness, cliffs and valleys of Malawi. Sailing, snorkeling and water sports are offered at most resorts as well and the stunning variety of birds and animals.
