Chimwala Bush Camp

Liwonde National Park, Malawi

Chimwala Bush Camp IS CLOSED until June 2025 for renovations - you can BOOK NOW for your safari beyond June.

Chimwala Bush Camp is a fully catered camp featuring four ensuite canvas tented suites with stone walls and one stone family cottage that is separate from the main camp. The elevated thatched central area - lounge, dining area, bar and swimming pool - overlooks the Shire River and floodplain below. The camp is tucked up against Chinguni Hill in the shade of mopane and miombo woodland. Chimwala has a perimeter fence.

The camp is deep within Liwonde National Park - near the most productive game viewing areas.

Activities:

Liwonde offers a variety of optional activities (extra charge), including:

• morning and afternoon game drives
• boat excursions on the Shire River (subject to river conditions)
• bush/bird walk

Length of stay:

We advise a stay of 3-4 nights to increase your chance of good wildlife encounters. This is a wild, remote area, and wildlife encounters are not guaranteed on any given day.

Health:

Malaria is present, although low-risk. There is no on-site medical facility but emergency evacuation is available via SATIB24 (Nyasa Express Charter = Air Ambulance).
