Boat rides can be arranged to visit the Liwonde National Park to see the animals at close quarters in their natural home. The following will fearlessly gaze at the visitor, the great elephant, hippos, crocodiles, bush bucks, duikers, warthog and so many others. Why waste time with story books only. Come and see for yourself. Trips by car or bus can also be arranged to the National Park or other places of interest.

Liwonde is full of beauties and wonders. The mighty Shire River passes right in the middle of the Township and Hippo View Lodge is rightly placed on the bank of this mighty wonder.

The Hotel derives its name from the fat animal the Hippo which is a frequent visitor especially in the evening.A riverside boating experience gives you a closer look to the abundant wild life in the area.
