Cichlids are a large and widespread family of fish found in rivers and lakes all over the world. What makes Malawi Cichlids so special is the sheer number of species and the speed at which they evolved. It is estimated that up to 1500 species exist in the lake.

Dive with Aqua-Africa and see the Huge moon crater nests of the blue "kiwinges", watch the mouth brooder’s ‘swallow’ their young to protect them from harm. Play with the fish in the sand and let them eat from your hands. Or just swim between the rocks and gullies or explore our many swim throughs.
