Liwonde National Park — Malawi's Big Five Safari - Image 1

Tour Overview

Liwonde's transformation is one of Africa's greatest conservation success stories. Through the work of African Parks, lions, black rhinos, elephants, leopards, and cheetahs have been reintroduced, creating genuine Big Five game viewing on the banks of the Shire River. Boat safaris along the river offer incredible perspectives on elephants, hippos, and crocodiles, while game drives and walking safaris reveal the park's thriving predator population.
