Rumphi

Rumphi is the capital of the Rumphi District in the Northern Region of Malawi. It is a lively town with a market which serves the widespread tobacco farming community. Rumphi is noted for the kindness of the people (it's even rude to pass by someone without greeting them). It is also known for nearby Nyika National Park, Nyika Plateau, and the summer heat. Unlike its larger neighbour, Mzuzu, which has mild sunny weather almost all year, Rumphi has very hot summers.

Located at -11.0167, 33.8667 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.
