Liwonde National Park Guide

Due to its unspoilt environment and prolific game, Liwonde National Park is generally regarded as the best game reserve in Malawi. It covers 550 sq kilometres (212 sq miles) of mopane and savanna woodland on the floodplains of the River Shire and Lake Malombe in the south of the country. Wildlife includes large herds of elephant, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, zebra, warthogs, bushback and sable. In addition, visitors can also see lions and leopards. The river plains are home to many species of bird. Plants and trees found in Liwonde National Park include the baobab, a large native African tree bearing a gourd-like fruit with a delicious pulp. Despite the incredible sigths, the park is still relatively peaceful and uncommercialised.
