Lilongwe to Liwonde National Park

Departing time from 8:30 am.
Leaving the capital city early allows us to stop at Dedza Pottery for their famous chees cake and Malawi coffee. We will have lunch en route before arriving at Lilongwe National Park. After parking our vehicle, we are transferred by boat across the Shire River to our accommodation. It's a short trip but we might be lucky and spot our first hippo. After our briefing on the dos and don'ts in a dangerous game area and settling in, it's time for our 3-hour sunset boat safari on the Shire River.
On day two the park will start with an early morning game drive. With qualified rangers, we set out to find the elusive black rhino and the many other wildlife species the park has to offer.
During the heat of the day, we'll head back to the camp and after a hearty breakfast. We'll have the day at leisure before meeting our ranger again for the afternoon drive.
