Malawi Parks
Philip is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Bradt guidebooks to African destinations, including the guide to Malawi.
With around 330 species recorded, Lengwe NP offers good birding opportunities. In low-key parks like Lengwe, there is more emphasis on birding as there are fewer flagship animal species around. General woodland bird species are plentiful, and some specials can be found in the dense low-lying thickets, including the noisy crested guineafowl and the tambourine dove. There is a good variety of raptors, which include all three snake eagles found in Malawi: black-breasted snake eagle, brown snake-eagle and banded snake eagle.
