Overview
About Mvuu Lodge
Mvuu Lodge sits beside the Namagogodo Lagoon where it meets the Shire River in Liwonde National Park. Lagoon Chalets have private decks, while the more secluded Kuwala Retreat Suite adds a private plunge pool and lounge. Days combine two scheduled safari activities with time by the shared swimming pool or in the upper-deck lounge. Boat safaris, day and night drives, birdwatching and community visits offer different perspectives on the park. Full board and local drinks are included. Guests aged 16 and over are welcome; guided walking safaris are for those aged 18 and over.
“A good fit for travellers who want boat safaris and game drives without filling every hour. Private decks and a shared pool leave space to slow down, while Kuwala adds a more secluded retreat.”
