The Mount Mulanje Cultural Landscape, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in July 2025, is a sacred and biodiverse site in southern Malawi, dominated by the majestic Mulanje Massif, including Sapitwa Peak, the highest in Central Africa at 3,002 meters. Revered as a dwelling place of gods, spirits, and ancestors, it holds deep spiritual significance for local communities who perform traditional rites there. The massif’s unique ecology, featuring the endangered Mulanje cedar and diverse flora and fauna, supports vital watersheds for surrounding populations.
