Mvuu Camp
Set beneath ancient baobab trees on the banks of the Shire River, Mvuu Camp is a wonderful choice for a family safari in Malawi.
Located in the heart of Liwonde National Park, this welcoming, unfussy camp combines a beautiful riverside setting with fantastic wildlife viewing and plenty of opportunities for adventure.
The spacious family chalets, swimming pool and relaxed communal areas make it easy to unwind between activities, while the camp’s experienced guides bring the African bush to life.
Head out on game drives to look for elephants, antelope and, with luck, lions, cheetahs and the occasional black rhino. Boat safaris along the Shire River offer a different perspective, with excellent opportunities to spot hippos, crocodiles and an extraordinary variety of birdlife.
For families looking for an authentic African safari holiday, Mvuu Camp offers a lovely balance of exploration and downtime.
Younger travellers can enjoy the excitement of spotting wildlife in its natural habitat, while guided activities and opportunities to learn about local communities add another dimension to the experience.
With its laid-back atmosphere, welcoming staff and spectacular natural surroundings, Mvuu Camp is an excellent option for families wanting to discover Malawi’s remarkable wildlife together.
