The Shire is the largest river in Malawi. It is the only outlet of Lake Malawi and flows into the Zambezi River in Mozambique. Its length is 402 kilometres (250??mi). The upper Shire River flows out of Lake Malawi and runs approximately 19??km (12??mi) before it entering the shallow Lake Malombe. It then drains Lake Malombe and flows south through Liwonde National Park where large concentrations of hippopotamus are common along its banks. Between the towns of Matope and Chikwawa, the middle river drops approximately 400??m (1,300??ft) through a series of falls and gorges, including Kapachira Falls. Two hydroelectric dams have been built along the Shire northwest of Blantyre.
