Malawi Photography Tour: Capture Africa's Hidden Gem

Liwonde National Park is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets for wildlife photography. Tucked along the Shire River in southern Malawi, this hidden gem offers dramatic sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and over 400 bird species — all set against a backdrop of lush woodlands and floodplains.

Staying at Mvuu Lodge, one of the only lodges inside the park, gives you exclusive access to night drives, boat safaris, and quiet prime wildlife zones. With fewer crowds and rare photographic angles — including water-level perspectives and nocturnal scenes — Liwonde is a dream for photographers seeking something truly off the beaten path
