CANOEING

As well as the fast developing game viewing safaris, there are opportunities to go walking and hiking in Nkhotakota. Visitors can also paddle canoes on a boat safari down the Bua River as it cuts through the dense bush, or have a go at fishing from the banks of this mighty river.
FISHING (CATCH & RELEASE)
K0
Catch and release fishing is a type of recreational fishing where anglers immediately release a fish back to the water where it was caught. It's a great conservation strategy.
HELICOPTER SAFARI
K0
The 15 minute flights offer a unique opportunity to see Liwonde from a different angle and add yet another means of exploring the park, beyond the existing drives, walks and boat safaris. From above, guests will be treated to some behind the scenes insights from the African Parks team. Flights cost US$200 per person (minimum of 2 people per booking). The flights are available all year round, subject to availability. Because the helicopter is also used by African Parks for their conservation work, all sight-seeing flights may only be booked within a 36-hour period prior to the flights. Flights can be booked for their guests by the camps and lodges in Liwonde, who can then also combine a flight with a game drive or boat safari.
BOAT SAFARI
K0
One of the great advantages of a number of Malawi’s National Parks and Wildlife Reserves, is that, as well as the usual safaris taken riding in a vehicle, and the thrill of getting out on foot for a walking safari, there are stretches of river which allow for boat safaris. Game viewing from a boat can be extremely successful as many animals are less concerned about what’s close to them on the water than what’s close to them on the land. They will happily go about their business whilst largely ignoring any safari boats that drift by. As well as being able to get close to the large crocodiles and pods of hippos that spend their days in or close to the water, and the riverine birdlife, boat safaris will also give great sightings of the animals on the riverbanks. Much of the wildlife will come down to the river to drink , or graze on the fertile plains not far from the water’s edge. And the elephants, particularly the young male bulls, enjoy playing in the shallow waters near the banks and will put on a great display for anyone on a boat safari along the River Shire.

Majete now hosts more than 4000 animals, including the Big 5! Elephants, lion, leopard, black rhinos, buffalos, elands, nyalas, zebras and hippos can be seen in the reserve. In July 2019, African Parks, the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Endangered Wildlife Trust successfully translocated a founding population of 4 cheetah from South Africa into Majete Wildlife Reserve where they have been missing from the landscape for decades. This reintroduction marks another milestone in the fight for the preservation of Malawi’s wildlife. Birdlife is also present in Majete with more than 300 species. These include several raptors, four vulture species, and a large population of bateleur eagles. From July to November, the park witnesses a plethora of migratory birds, including skimmers in the riverine areas, and the diminutive, yet beautiful rock pratincole.

LAKE MALAWI NATIONAL PARK-KAYAKING
K10000.00
Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving over water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation.[1] Most kayaks have closed decks, although sit-on-top and inflatable kayaks are growing in popularity as well.
