Malawi

Malawi really is 'The Warm Heart of Africa'! Its scenery is stunning and varied with mountains and plateaux, national parks and game reserves and, of course, the beautiful Lake Malawi.

The lake stretches some 500km along the country’s eastern border and offers crystal clear waters, excellent beaches, bird and hippo watching and water sports.

The Zomba Plateau is a 2000m massif with forests, waterfalls and lakes. Mount Mulanje in the south is a challenging climb to over 3000m with sheer escarpments, dramatic peaks and endless rolling grassland. You will get plenty of opportunities to visit and enjoy all of these amazing places!

Gap Year Teaching in Malawi.

Malawi has many of the poorest schools that AV is involved with in Africa. Yet our volunteers are always stunned by the kindnesses they are shown by pupils, staff and parents alike. You will discover so much more about Africa and yourself that is just impossible without the prolonged immersion in Malawi’s culture and rural society.

Helping a rural community through teaching in carefully selected schools brings immeasurable rewards, as so many AVs will testify. Whether it’s teaching academic subjects, music, drama, arts and crafts or coaching sports, your contribution will mean an awful lot to your hosts.
