Ziwa Nyasa (katika Malawi: Lake Malawi; katika Msumbiji: Niassa) ni kati ya maziwa makubwa ya Afrika ya Mashariki likiwa na nafasi ya tatu baada ya Viktoria Nyanza na Ziwa Tanganyika.
Lina urefu wa km 560 na upana wa km 50-80. Vilindi vyake vinaelekea hadi mita 704 chini ya uwiano wa maji yake.
Ziwa Nyasa linapatikana kati ya nchi za Malawi, Msumbiji na Tanzania.
Kusini mwa ziwa unatoka Mto Shire unaopeleka maji kwenye Mto Zambezi na hatimaye Bahari Hindi.
Kijiolojia ziwa ni sehemu ya Bonde la Ufa la Afrika ya Mashariki.

Mbuga ya Serengeti

Hifadhi ya Serengeti ni eneo kubwa la mbuga na misitu katika Tanzania ya kaskazini hasa katika mikoa ya Mara na Arusha ikipakana na nchi ya Kenya.
Eneo lake ni 14,763 km² na kijiografia inaendelea ndani ya Kenya inapoitwa Hifadhi ya Masai Mara.
Kuna idadi kubwa ya wanyamapori. Serengeti pamoja na Masai Mara inajulikana hasa kwa uhamisho wa kila mwaka wa zaidi ya milioni moja ya nyumbu wanaovuka mto Mara.

Kina maumbile maalum tofauti na vimondo vingine vinavyopatikana ulimwenguni kwa kuwa hiki ni hasa cha chuma. Chuma ni 90.45%, nikeli 8,69%, sulfuri 0,01% na fosfori 0,11% ya masi yake.
