Miombo woodland and large mammals
Malawi
Kasungu is Malawi's second-largest park, a miombo woodland plateau on the Zambian border west of the town of Kasungu. Its wildlife was heavily poached and is being restored: elephants were translocated in from Liwonde in 2022, and buffalo, sable, roan and zebra are present, but sightings are still sparser than in Liwonde or Majete. It is a park for miombo birding, quiet walks and the Lifupa dam, with a lodge and a campsite, and it is a malaria area in the wet season.

Why book here
Wild places survive when the communities around them earn more from protecting wildlife than from anything that would replace it. Every stay you book through Spekboom carries a conservation contribution built into the price, never added on top, so choosing where you sleep becomes a way to fund the people and projects keeping this landscape intact.
