# Central Region

## Malawi

![Senga Bay on Lake Malawi is only a two hour drive from Lilongwe, so it's a perfect place for a day trip from the city. Watch baboons play in the shallows while fishermen row in and out of the bay. 
Several lodges, including Safari Beach Lodge, allow day visitors.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000426637/f2af3b04-3b32-4b6e-9ad6-a48d05644cb2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
