What to expect

Liwonde National Park is a national park in southern Malawi, near the Mozambique border. The park has a beautiful riverine setting and teeming wildlife, offering thrilling safaris. Wildlife viewing is enhanced because the River Shire flows along its western border, allowing boat safaris as well as the usual ones on foot or in 4x4s. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, and over 380 bird species. Visitors can enjoy luxury accommodations, such as Mvuu Lodge and Kuthengo Camp, and participate in activities like game drives, boat safaris, and cultural experiences. The park is also a great place for families to visit, with opportunities for children to learn about wildlife and conservation
