Tobacco
and tea are the chief exports of Malawi.
Malawi also has the highest production of burley leaf tobacco, a
low grade, high nicotine tobacco.
Malawi is home to the third largest lake in Africa, Lake Malawi.
It is also the eighth largest lake in the world, and the second
deepest lake in Africa.
It is home to many species of fish, as well as hippos, crocodiles
and fish eagles. It is also known as Lake Nyasa stemming from the
days when Malawi was known as Nyasaland.
Zomba is not just a tourist destination, but people have been told
that some endangered species of birds are seen there. Those are
the white-winged apalis. There are fewer than 100 breeding pairs
of the white-winged apalis left in the wild. On the outskirts of
Zomba, amidst the Jacaranda trees, you can see a pair of these beautiful
birds.
The beautiful old stone building in Blantyre built in 1891 is St.
Michael and All Angels Church. It is an absolutely magnificent building.
