Malawi is a place of immense natural beauty and Malawi’s wildlife reserves’ are a prime example of this with miles of unspoilt wilderness where you can literally walk and sleep among the animals. Liwonde National Park (45km from site) has a wide variety of species including Hippos, Elephants, Crocodiles, Buffalo and endangered Black Rhinos. Visitors can choose to stay at the luxurious Mvuu Lodge or Mvuu Camp , where you can camp surrounded by baboons, hippos and other species.
Mvuu Lodge and Camp offer a range of Safaris such as a stunning boat Safari on Lake Malombe where you can get up close and personal with the Hippos and Crocodiles. Another highlight is the Walking Safari where with an extremely knowledgeable guide you can walk around the National Park looking at everything from the ‘sausage’ tree to baby (and not so baby) Elephants. Mvuu also offers the traditional Jeep Safari, however also offers a night Safari where you can witness the beautiful starlight sky.
However if its lions and zebra you’re after you will have to head north the Kazungu National Park and Nkhotakota Reserve. If you head further north you reach the stunning Nyika Plateau in the highlands, and Vwaza Wildlife Reserve in the lowlands.
