How to get in Liwonde National Park
A boat runs regularly from Liwonde town to Mvuu Camp and Lodge.
To drive to Mvuu Camp and Lodge, turn off the M3 at the village of Ulongwe (about a third of the way between Liwonde and Mangotchi). From there it's a 14km drive along dirt roads to the edge of the park, and another 1km to the river where you can leave your vehicle and get a boat across the river to Mvuu Camp and Lodge.
Bicycle taxis can be arranged from Ulongwe, but they are not for the faint hearted.
You can also drive in from the south (the turning is just outside Liwonde town, to the east). This is the entrance to use if you are staying at Chinguini Hills Camp. From the south entrance it's about a 30km drive inside the park to Mvuu Camp and Lodge, and only about 3km to Chinguini Hills Camp. Seek advice before attempting to reach Mvuu this way.
If you do not have a vehicle it is best to call ahead and have someone from Chinguini Hills Camp pick you up from the park gate which can be reached by bicycle taxi. It's best to arrange this before reaching the park, since walking into the park is not allowed (for obvious reasons) and you could end up stranded at the gate, without a phone, without a bicycle taxi and several miles from anywhere.
Another option is to use the MV Mangunda a cruise boat that runs daily trips and overnight trips into the park. Based at Villa Liwonde in Liwonde town. This is a nuique way to view the park and its animals.
