Highest Mountain
in
Central Africa
Mount Mulanje
At 9,850 feet, Mount Mulanje is the highest mountain in Central Africa, rising dramatically from the rolling highlands below it.This great leviathan is split in two by the Fort Lister Gap, a wide channel eroded by the Sombani and Phalombe Rivers.Mulanje’s highest peak is Sapitwa and this colossal massif is surrounded by precipitous cliff faces, some towering over 3,000 feet high.Rivers run along lines of weakness in the rock and spectacular waterfalls cascade over sheer walls.The action of the water has eroded great clefts that run back towards the centre of the mountain.
A unique mountain climate
Mount Mulanje has its own climate, owing to its great height and it is often surrounded in a light mist, above which the highest peaks sometimes appear earning it the local name of ‘Island in the sky’.Heading up the mountain, you leave behind the familiar tropics of Malawi and enter a temperate zone more reminiscent of parts of Europe.
The scenery is absolutely stunning and ranges from majestic stands of Mulanje cedar, dense tropical rainforest and heather-clad plateaus speckled with flowers to the hugely dramatic crevasses, basins and gullies gouged out by fast flowing streams.More unusual vegetation includes the carnivorous Venus fly-trap. You may also see Whyte’s sunflowers tucked away in rocky shelters.
Animal life is fairly limited on Mount Mulanje although monkeys are common and klipspringer are often seen in the forest.There are large numbers of small mammals such as hares and voles, birds are also encouraged by the diversity of habitat.
