Kasungu National Park

Covering about 2,316 km², Kasungu is the second largest national park in Malawi after Nyika. The landscape is mainly grassland and rolling hills, with a small lake and a wide marshy river course. The lake is home to a group of hippos, and there are an estimated 300 elephants remaining after a serious poaching problem.

Other large game includes buffalo, antelope and zebra. The park also contains many smaller animal species, and a rich and varied birdlife.

It is best to tour the park in your own vehicle, but game drives and guided walks can be organized by the lodge. Since 1995 the Park has been receiving funds from the European Union. The funds are helping aid anti poaching efforts and the improvement of roads.
