Arguably the most scenically beautiful region of Malawi. The Thyolo and Mulanje districts forms the heart of Malawi’s tea producing region with rolling hills immaculately cultivated, emerald green plantation and some of the oldest estates in the country. With magnificent views of Mount Mulanje and the Lower Shire valley to the west, Satemwa enjoys a temperature climate of the Shire Highlands and relaxed ambiance of the by-gone era. Visitors to this corner of Malawi cannot help to be caught up in the colonial magic of the area and diverse scenery, which ranges from thickets and rolling hills.
