Mvuu Lodge is in the heart of Liwonde National Park along the banks of the Shire River - one of the country’s best wildlife areas. Liwonde National Park is home to a range of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, and a growing population of big cats like cheetahs and lions.

The lodge’s accommodations include eight luxury tents and chalets, each with spacious interiors, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas that provide views of the river and surrounding wilderness. Designed with an eco-conscious approach, the lodge maintains a balance between comfort and nature, with solar-powered facilities and limited environmental impact. The main lodge area features a swimming pool, dining area, and a large deck for sunset views – the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure.

Guests at Mvuu Lodge can enjoy a variety of safari experiences, including river safaris, guided game drives, and walking safaris. Birdwatching is also popular here, as Liwonde boasts an impressive diversity of bird species. Mvuu Lodge combines luxurious comfort with an authentic connection to the wilderness, for an unforgettable stay.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the lodge for these unique selling points:

  • Small, boutique lodge
  • Excellent location within Liwonde National Park 
  • Variety of wildlife activities including raised and underground hides as well as walking and boat safaris 

“A beautiful setting which offers photographic hides, bush walks and boat safaris as well as game drives”

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
