Mvuu Camp — Attraction in Machinga

Justin was a great guide, and we were thrilled that he found 10 lions on the first night alone. We were able to have a private jeep, though we're not sure if this is always the case. Two nights at the camp was a good amount of time. All the food was amazing, and the staff really listened to our needs, providing gluten-free options that were especially impressive, including fresh bread and muffins daily. We needed an early start on the day of departure, and the staff made it happen seamlessly, keeping everything on schedule.

The only two ways to access are by 4x4 through the main gate (south entrance of the park) or by boat from the west. You must reserve in advance. It is pricey ($275/pp/day), but all-inclusive and includes two game drives per day. Our guide, Justin, was excellent. Food was excellent quality. Lodging is right...
