Mvuu Wilderness Lodge , Malawi

Contact a specialist about Mvuu Wilderness Lodge , Malawi

Mvuu Wilderness Lodge nestles discreetly on the banks of a lagoon just off the Shire River in the Liwonde National Park. Mvuu means "hippo" in Tonga and the name epitomises the large numbers of pods of these water-loving mammals that float in the river. Liwonde, by its very nature, is about people as well as animals, so no visit to Mvuu is complete without experiencing some of the sense of culture and community in one of the villages on its boundaries. Mvuu Wilderness Lodge really comes into its own with its river safaris, offering fantastic game viewing and bird watching combined with luxurious accommodation.
