LAKE MALAWI: THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA |
|
When David Livingstone in this part of |
|
|
Africa in the 1850s he asked the name of the great stretch |
|
|
of water. He was told it was called 'nyasa', |
|
|
which means 'lake'. |
|
|
|
So the lake became as Lake Nyasa (Lake Lake) and the country as |
|
Nyasaland. When the country became independent in 1964 the new Republic chose |
|
the name of Malawi. |
|
Lake Malawi nearly 24,000 square kilometres, about one-fifth of the total |
|
of the Republic of Malawi. The lake 473 metres above sea |
|
in the deep valley which stretches the length of the country. |
|
Wide grassy plains the valley on both sides and the |
|
round the lake is spectacular. The water is fresh and there are no tides or currents. |
|
The lake contains over 220 varieties of fish, the of which are not found |
|
anywhere else in the world. There are also crocodiles, but these generally keep away |
|
from areas. |
|
|
|
Lake Malawi has a constantly changing character on the time of the |
|
day, the weather and the . One moment the water may be as |
|
as silk and then suddenly waves seven metres high can beat against the . |
|
It is generally calmest from March to May, and the temperature never |
|
below 21 °C. The area has a particularly low annual rainfall. |
