KARONGA -
THE WARM HEART
OF MALAWI


Malawi is known as the warm heart of Africa. With its unique nat­ural and cultur­al history the Karonga Dis­trict in north­ern Malawi is regarded as the warm heart of Malawi. International Research Co-op­erations have helped to under­score this tremendous heritage. Sev­eral in­stitutions in and around Karonga promote and ed­ucate people from all over the world about its nat­ural and cultur­al and its rich history. Most prom­inently among them are the Cultur­al and Mu­se­um Centre Karonga and Ra­dio Dinosaur.
