Liwonde National Park
MALAWI
Hi, hoi, hola, hallo
Safari experiences that you will not find with any other travel company. We know Africa best and will get you to the right place & time to enjoy the greatest shows on Earth!
Liwonde National Park is a 54,800-hectare (548km2) protected area on the banks of the Shire River in Malawi - just south of Lake Malombe and Lake Malawi.
Scenic landscapes include riverine floodplains, woodlands, and arid savannas. This is a great comeback story - how a sustainable Big-5 safari destination was reclaimed from a poached wasteland under the expert guidance of African Parks.
Liwonde wildlife
Your Liwonde safari will include searching for the Big 5 - black rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo - although leopards are seldom seen.
Other species include cheetah, African wild dog (painted wolf), hyena, sable and roan antelope, hippopotamus, crocodile, Lichtenstein’s hartebeest and eland and commonly seen species such as warthog, impala, zebra, wildebeest, waterbuck, common duiker, kudu and bushbuck. Smaller species include side-striped jackal, honey badger, aardvark, pangolin and several species of mongoose.
Over 460 species of birds have been recorded, including Lillian’s lovebird, Pel’s fishing owl, Boehm’s bee-eater, and Livingstone’s flycatcher.
