Liwonde National Park is an area of natural beauty lying along the banks of the Shire River.

The vegetation is varied with Lala Palms and Fever Trees lining the river banks and,

some very large and ancient Baobabs scattered across the park.

elephants are drawn to it to drink on a daily basis.

The Shire is also a haven for hippos with one of the highest densities in the region, as well as

plenty of crocodiles including some impressive sized creatures.

A large sanctuary, near Mvuu Camp, is home to reintroduced animals like sable,

endangered black rhino, which guests have an opportunity to track at Mvuu.

Birding is very varied with 400+ species. Specials include the Palm-nut Vulture,

the Black Heron - also called the 'umbrella bird' after its fishing technique.

Sunsets in Liwonde are particularly lovely and most sundowners are taken along the river.
