Malawi is blessed with a rich diversity of flora and fauna and has no less than nine National Parks or Wildlife Reserves.
There’s an ever increasing number of animals offering excellent game viewing experiences whilst the number of lodges in parks remains low.
This ensures protection of each area and brilliant exclusivity for visitors compared with the high prices charged for similar parks in neighbouring countries.
