Dropzones

Explore some of the fascinating dropzones we have in Malawi.
There are a vast number of exciting dropzones in Malawi, awaiting to be explored, discovered and jumped. Malawi offers some stunning backdrops and beautiful scenery for skydiving, be it the the crystal clear waters of Lake Malawi, the rolling hills of the Nyika Plateau, the steep cliffs of Mulanje Mountain, surrounding tea plantations or the Woodlands of the planes.
Lake Malawi offers some wonderful sandy beach dropzones. The combination of beaches and lake side resorts creates some idyllic Boogie locations in Malawi.
Mount Mulanje is just under 10000 feet high, while the surrounding area is just over 2000 feet over sea level. There are a number of airfields in the vicinity, including one top of the mountain. The mountain and the lush green tea plantations offer some stunning Skydiving. The area may also be interesting to BASE jumpers and para gliders.
