Shire Eco Safari Camp

Eco and volunteer-oriented budget camp · Liwonde National Park area (the camp's own site is ambiguous on inside or outside) · Independent, managed by Billy Mphande

We don't have a photograph of Shire Eco Safari Camp yet. We only publish images we are licensed to use, so this is an illustration rather than the real thing. Run this lodge? Send us your photos and we'll swap it out.

A small Malawian-run eco camp with the lowest confirmed prices around the park: ten dollars to camp, thirty-five for a private chalet for two. It sells its own tiered safari menu, from a basic two-hour trip to a private five-hour outing, and throws in stargazing for overnight guests.

Why you'd pick it

  • The cheapest verified bed in the Liwonde area
  • Astronomy viewing included for overnight guests
  • Volunteer discounts and a named Malawian manager

Rates

From $10 camping. Camping $10, dorm bed $15 ($10 for volunteers), private chalet $35 double or $25 single. Breakfast $4, lunch or dinner $8. Safaris from $30 for 2 hours to $70 private.

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.
