Liwonde National Park
Liwonde National Park is one of Malawi’s most impressive wildlife reserves and a true highlight of any safari itinerary. Located along the Shire River, the park is known for its scenic river landscapes, open floodplains and diverse ecosystems that attract a wide variety of wildlife.
The Shire River forms the heart of the park and is home to large populations of hippos and crocodiles. Along its banks, elephants are frequently seen drinking and bathing, especially during the dry season. Liwonde is also one of the best places in Malawi to spot black rhinos, as well as lions, leopards and large herds of antelope. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the park’s rich birdlife, with hundreds of species recorded.
One of the unique aspects of Liwonde is the combination of classic game drives and boat safaris on the river. Exploring the park from the water offers a completely different perspective and brings you remarkably close to wildlife. Walking safaris with experienced guides add another layer of adventure.
