Liwonde National Park, Malawi

Liwonde Park is one of the most atmospheric reserves in Africa, dominated by the palm fringed, crocodile and hippo infested waters of the Shire River. An estimated 900 elephants, some 4000 hippos, 600 sable antelope and recently introduced breeding groups of zebra, hartebeest and rhino are resident in the park.

Mvuu Camp
Mvuu means hippo in Malawi.  At Mvuu you are never far from the magical sounds of these lumbering beasts which wallow by day and graze by night.  Mvuu is on the east bank of the great Shire River, so enjoys splendid sunsets, and is reached either by boat from the west or through the park from the south.

Mvuu Camp accommodates 36 guests in cool ensuite stone and canvas chalets and has 5 specially designed family suites.  The thatched lounge and dining area right on the river is a superb spot for idling away hours watching the elephants playing in the water.

Mvuu Camp is managed by Central African Wilderness Safaris.

Lake Malawi 
Lake Malawi is a vast expanse of blue, named by David Livingstone 'Lake Nyassa', the lake of stars.  The southern area of the lake is stunningly beautiful with palms and incongruous baobabs lining the sandy beaches and rocky coast lines.  Villages prosper on fishing and tourism and many hours and days can be spent in fascination watching the world go by.
