Intro

Mvuu Camp has a spectacular vantage on the banks of the Shire River. The river is a magnet for wildlife and draws an abundance of fauna to its banks. The camp serves as an excellent option for guests who want to enjoy the ultimate bush experience in a comfortable and relaxed setting.

Highlights
  • A comfortable and rustic wilderness experience in the heart of Liwonde National Park
  • Ideal for families, small corporate groups and travellers seeking an affordable safari camp experience
  • Offers full board accommodation with wholesome meals often served buffet style
  • All chalets are located near the river’s edge
Wildlife

Located along the banks of the Shire River, the camp’s immediate surroundings harbour a dense population of hippo, crocodiles and large numbers of elephant. Antelope such as impala, waterbuck, reedbuck and bushbuck are plentiful along the banks. In the east, relatively dry mopane woodlands are interspersed with candelabra trees, an area favoured by buffalo, yellow baboon and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest. Nearly 300 bird species occur here, with specials such as Böhm’s Bee-eater, Livingstone’s Flycatcher, Pel’s Fishing-Owl, Lilian’s Lovebird and Brown-breasted Barbet.
