Arrive Blantyre International Airport

You'll be met on arrival at Blantyre International Airport for road transfer to the unspoiled Liwonde National Park - an ultimate retreat where you can experience the many activities on offer with complete privacy; from adventurous game drives, breathtaking walking safaris or tranquil boat cruises along the grand Shire River, there is something for everyone.

Staying at Kuthengo Camp, a combination of rustic charm and stunning views from your private deck, sit with a cold beer and watch the herds of waterbuck that frequent the camp area. The camp is located on a large open plain stretching towards the Shire River nestled among Fever trees and Baobabs. With resident fish eagles nesting in these Baobabs, you will be woken to ‘Africa’s voice’ calling as you rise in this wild and natural paradise. Our four spacious and modern safari tents are all en-suite, each with a bathtub and an outdoor shower.
