When To Visit

Mvuu Camp in Liwonde National Park is open all year round. While the lodge is open throughout the year, the best time to visit for game viewing is generally during the dry season, which runs from May to November. April is a good time to visit if you're looking for a less crowded experience and lower prices, as the bush is still green and lush.
