Liwonde National Park

Another safari weekend, this time in Liwonde National Park. Liwonde is in the southern region of Malawi and straddles both sides of the Shire river. It was the second time our VSO volunteer intake  had met up since in country training and it was really great to see everyone again.


The opportunity to go on game cruises along the river really sets Liwonde apart from other reserves in Malawi. The nine of us chartered a boat for a night and spent a wonderful 24 hours on the water, spotting elephants, crocs and a myriad of bird life.




I think the pictures do this trip way more justice than my words can so I'll leave it there. Below are a few of my favorite shots but be sure to check out the flickr link at the bottom for the complete, hi-res set.

  1. Hi Oli glad to see you finally realising what fun strenuous activity can be you must have been very disappointed not to be allowed to climb the highest peak! Loved the animal pics & glad to hear the project seems to be on track & you are also having some fun. Kate & I have just got back from Chicago & San Fran-both great cities if you ever get the chance to go. regards dave
