Experience the warm heart of Africa
Looking for the holiday of a lifetime? Here at Central African Wilderness Safaris we offer unforgettable travel experiences in Malawi, the warm heart of Africa.
Widely recognised as the country’s foremost ecotourism operator, we specialise in organising luxury safaris as well as affordable travel options in Malawi whilst working hard to make sure that wildlife tourism has a positive impact on local communities and the surrounding environment.
Our lodges and safaris extend north from Mvuu Camp and Lodge in the country’s premier game viewing destination Liwonde National Park, via islands and lakeside camps on the breathtaking Lake Malawi, up to Chelinda Camp on the spectacular Nyika Plateau.
Working in the wonderful protected areas and National Parks of Malawi is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Mvuu Camp overlooks a broad stretch of the Shire River (pronounced Shiree) in Liwonde National Park. The camp is a clever mix of stone and canvas chalets and specially-designed family tents, which total 14 units. An impressive thatched dining and lounge area is situated between two enormous baobabs, and dinners are sometimes held under the stars in a specially constructed boma. A custom-built education and conference centre has facilities for up to 40 delegates or smaller corporate and team building functions.
