Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve, situated in a low-lying area to the south west of Nyika Plateau, and joining the Zambian Luangwa eco-system (South Luangwa park and Vwaza are about 60km apart), has permanent water, open floodplains and hilly woodlands. Animals seen here include many elephant and buffalo plus lion, puku and kudu as well as exceptional birdlife. There are predators at Vwaza but they are few, hopefully, recent increases in herbivore populations will also increase the numbers of lion, leopard and hyena. African wild dogs sometimes pass through, probably coming from Zambia but are very rarely seen.
Kazuni Camp has four simple en-suite grass huts on the edge of a large floodplain at Lake Kazuni. The rooms are made entirely of poles and grass with en-suite facilities (hot and cold water) and a main restaurant and bar under a grove of Acacia trees.
Note that as of 2008, this camp has no private management so is currently being government run. We can offer options to have a private mobile camp (in tents) on the Lake Kazuni Camp site as part of a tailor made trip, please ask us for details.
This location combines well with a visit to Nyika or to Chintheche on the lake or part of a longer Malawi itinerary.
