Inside the park
Safari company
The relaxed, family-friendly sibling of Mvuu Lodge, and the camp most Liwonde itineraries are built around. The two hides, one up a tree and one underground, are the draw: you sit at water level while elephants and antelope come to you. Mvuu means hippo in Chichewa, and the name is earned.
Why you'd pick it
- A treehouse deck hide and an underground hide
- Game moves in and out of the river in front of camp daily

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Liwonde National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside, and almost no booking site shows you that.
- Park entryPriced per night here, which most parks do not do.
- $30per person, per night
- Vehicle
- $5per vehicle, per day
Two adults sharing one vehicle staying three nights pay $195 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Liwonde National ParkRates
From about $305 pppn. Around $345 per person sharing from July to November 2026, about $305 in December, including meals and selected activities. Reseller figures; the operator publishes no rates.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We have not been able to check whether meals, drinks and activities are included here, so treat this figure as the bed alone until it is.
Indicative rates gathered July 2026 from operators' own sites, the official African Parks rate sheet and, for Mvuu, third-party rate cards, since the operator publishes none. Always confirm with the lodge. Park fees of $30 per international adult are generally extra, and note that the park prices fees per person per night.
