These mysterious sandstone formations nesting deep in the trees at the foot of the verdantly-forested Chikala Hills.  The site was formed through geological processes from a combined effect of soil reaction to different elements, differences in soil resistance and erosion. Malape pillars forms a rare geological heritage. Some people call it “Malawian Canyon” as it looks like the Grand Canyon of the United States.
