Malawi is an incredibly photogenic country with diverse landscapes, here's just a few pictures of the southern mountain areas and their forrsts.

The Porters' Race

The annual Porters' Race on Mount Mulanje is a hectic 25km trail running competition up and down Mount Mulanje in Malawi’s south. What takes 2 days of hiking for mere mortals was blitzed in two hours by the winner of the generous MWK 200,000 cash prize (AUD$500). It had an incredibly festive atmosphere with most of the villages coming to spectate and cheer the contestants on. It even ends with free music :)
