The Shire Highlands are a plateau in southern Malawi, located east of the Shire River. Ranging in elevation from 2,000 feet (610 m) to 4,000 feet (1,200 m), it is a major agricultural area and the most densely populated part of the country.

David Livingstone set up a missionary station in the Highlands in 1861.[1]
