The Mvuu Project:

Having completely demolished the old Mvuu Camp, a brand new ten-bedded tented camp with en-suite bathrooms has been erected. This joint venture between Wilderness Safaris and Malawi National Parks was supported extensively by the Kruger National Park authorities, as well as Dr Anthony Hall-Martin - a renowned elephant expert who consulted on the reserve infrastructure. The new facilities overlook the Shire River where the gentle giants meet to drink and bathe. Camp activities include 4x4 gamed drives, nature walks and trips up the Shire.

Join us for a Malawi safari at this wondrous camp and immerse yourself in the true nature of the bush. Here you will truly be able to leave behind the stress of the daily grind and see what a Malawi African vacation is all about.
