Chikala Pillars (Malapi) (day trip)
​
A series of sandstone pinnacles located deep in forest and farmland away outside Zomba. The pillars look like a series of earthen church steeples, all jostling for space in their reach for the heavens. A place where ancestors used for confession (malapi) and praying to their gods. Birders here may encounter owls and nightjars as they are known to roost in the area’s many hollows and crevices. On the way back, a short detour to Chilema (paralysed tree) at the Upper Shire Anglican mission station.
