Liwonde National Park may not have the game to rival such giants as the Masai Mara, but what it lacks in game, it certainly makes up for in natural beauty and a quintessentially African atmosphere.
Although you can go on game drives and bush-walks, the real highlight is drifting down the Shire River amongst wallowing hippo, lurking crocs, and a multitude of birdlife. Back at camp you’ll have warthogs grazing in front of your tent and elephants roaming about at night.
