Climbing & Abseiling

With its variety of mountains and highlands, it’s no surprise that Malawi has a few places that can offer some great climbing experiences.

Walking and hiking opportunities abound in these areas with trails of varying degrees of difficulty but out-and-out rock climbing that requires specialist climbing equipment is mostly focussed on the Mulanje Massif. Here, a number of little-used routes up the great granite faces offer experienced climbers a variety of challenges. There are also opportunities for climbing on the Viphya Highlands. And where there is climbing, there is also a chance for abseiling.
