Mount Mulanje is a hiking and trekking area in a high mountain region of southern Malawi consisting of rocky peaks, high grasslands, deep gorges and fast moving rivers (with swimming holes and waterfalls). The hikes or treks broken down as day hikes or multi-day hikes. The Hiking Guide of Mount Mulanje, by Drew Corbyn is a must (around US$ 10 or less locally). I will borrow from the guide as little as possible and try to supplement it with my experiences, maps and facts.
