Welcome to
Liwonde National Park
Home to the Legendary Big Five animals in Malawi
Liwonde National Park is situated at the southern end of Lake Malawi bordering Lake Malombe, and it provides an excellent option for those seeking abundant wildlife with fewer tourists during their travels. The park’s name is derived from Chief Liwonde, who made a significant commitment to safeguarding the wildlife within this Malawian park.
The Liwonde ecosystem is highly diverse, encompassing riverine areas, mipome forests, and grasslands, which collectively support a population of around 17,800 large mammals and host over 380 bird species. Among the large mammals are African buffalo, various antelope species (including Common eland, the endangered sable antelope, and waterbuck), baboons, black rhinoceros, bushbuck, elephants, hippopotamus, impala, kudu, monkeys, and warthogs.
Visitors can explore Liwonde National Park on boat ride, game drives and on foot. However for a successful walking safari arrangements must be made in advance, and during the walk, an armed ranger will accompany you to ensure your safety.
