The Shire River Valley is a southern extension of the East African Rift.
The southern end of the Matundwe Range rises as a steep escarpment along the west side of the Shire Valley lowlands, and descends more gently westwards towards the Zambezi.
Malawi's Matandwe Forest Reserve covers part of northern range.
[2] The main plant community in the reserve is open-canopy miombo woodland dominated by Brachystegia species, particularly B. boehmii, along with Uapaca kirkiana.
