Manchewe Falls

Manchewe Falls is Livingstonia's natural showpiece, a high waterfall dropping from the escarpment into a forested gorge. The walk there is part of the pleasure, passing villages, fields, and sudden views toward Lake Malawi.

Go with a local guide if you want the safest route and the best viewpoints. Paths can be slippery, and the gorge is not a place to test your balance for a photograph.

A story
Local guides often point out caves near the falls that are said to have been used as hiding places during raids. Whether you come for the story or the drop, the falls make the escarpment feel dramatic rather than merely scenic.
