Group Travel to Liwonde National Park

Group Safaris in Malawi are not to be missed! Arrive on the banks of the mighty Shire River and transfer to your bush lodge by river boat- the perfect way to begin your safari. Spend the next two days rising early for morning game drives in open top vehicles and taking walking and riverboat safaris. The park has a wonderful diversity of wildlife including, elephants, hippos, impalas and zebras. Your camp can be hired exclusively for the groups use and its riverside views, excellent service and knowledgeable guides will make your stay unforgettable. From the restaurant area you can watch animals coming to the river to drink and hear the hippos eating the grass outside your room at night- an opportunity for a real bush experience! After your evening safari drive you will return to the camp for an evening meal and a night under the stars experiencing traditional dancing and Malawian cuisine.

Logistics: For groups above 25 people you will have exclusive use of the camp. The camp is very used to hosting large educational groups and can provide group activities and meals upon request at time of booking. Activities include, bush walks, riverboat safaris and open top safari game drives. Please remind the group to bring trainers or walking boots for the bush walks.

Group Challege Climb: Mount Mulanje

A fundraise challenge to climb Mount Mulanje is an ideal way to raise money for your trip to Malawi. This majestic mountain provides a number of different hiking routes dependent on time, fitness level and season. Small mountain huts are dotted along the plateau edge and provide perfect resting points for peak climbs and nights spent on the mountain. To reach the plateau the climb will take between 5-7 hours and you will be accompanied by experienced guides and porters. Once on the plateau, days can be spent ascending the peaks, swimming in mountain pools or resting at the picturesque mountain huts. Evenings will be spent in front of open fires cooking dinner and regaling stories of the day's adventures.

Logistics: The mountain can get very cold between May and September so warm clothing is essential, it is also advisable to bring wet weather clothing. Sleeping bags and blankets can be hired but groups should ensure they have all the items for Mulanje as mentioned in the pre-travel information (See PDF Packing List). All food is provided and carried by your porters. NB Groups need to be at an appropriate fitness level to hike Mulanje, for members of the group who do not wish to hike there is an option of   helping at a local orphan care project within Mulanje District.
