Lake Malawi National Park
Island Bush Camps – Sea Kayak Safaris
The Lake National Park is a World Heritage Site and the first freshwater marine reserve on earth.

Kayak Africa's Island Camps are luxurious yet rustic. They are located within exclusive concession areas, guaranteeing privacy in paradise. Accommodation is in fully furnished safari tents situated on thatched, wooden decks overlooking the lake.

Freedom – together with a good dose of healthy outdoor fun – is what Kayak Africa itineraries are all about. Multiple nights are spent at each Island Camp, giving guests the opportunity to explore at their leisure. Activites include sea kayaking, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, nature trails and bird watching, while shady hammocks are perfect retreats for those wanting to curl up with a good book.

A Kayak Africa experience is a holistic and non-exploitative one, in harmony with the wonders of nature. You won't only discover an island paradise, you'll discover a revitalised self!

The Lodge and Camp are situated in Liwonde National Park, which is south of Lake Malawi and on the eastern bank of the mighty Shire River.

With a fantastic range of habitats – open water, floodplain, mopane woodland, mature riverine forest, marsh and wooded hills, this is the country’s most scenic and game-rich wilderness area.

The river hosts huge concentrations of hippo and crocodile and the Park also has large herds of elephant, sable antelope, impala, waterbuck, buffalo, kudu, leopard and lion. The birding is superb with a species list of over 300 with many rare and colourful species.

Mvuu Lodge is Malawi’s most secret destination. With just 5 en suite “Hemmingway” tents, including the legendary honeymoon suite, each with a private balcony and set spectacularly on a secluded lagoon, the Lodge offers superb comfort in a wonderful bush setting. There is a rock swimming pool connected to the lodge by a wooden walkway and the thatched lounge, raised high over the lagoon, has a comprehensive library.

Mvuu Camp accommodates 36 guests in cool en suite stone and thatch chalets and has 5 specially designed family units. It has a thatched lounge and dining area right on the river and can cater for individuals, couples, groups and families.
