Nkhotakota Game Reserve, Game reserve in central Malawi.

The 1,800-square-kilometer Nkhotakota Game Reserve contains diverse landscapes from acacia woodlands to grasslands, bordered by Lake Malawi's eastern shores.

African Parks initiated substantial conservation efforts in 2015, leading to the successful relocation of over 500 elephants from other Malawian reserves between 2016 and 2017.

The reserve partners with neighboring communities to integrate traditional practices into wildlife management strategies while supporting local economic development through sustainable tourism.

Visitors can access guided walking safaris, game drives, and bird watching activities throughout the reserve, with peak wildlife viewing occurring from May to October.

Three major rivers flow through the reserve from the Great Rift Valley escarpment to Lake Malawi, creating distinct ecosystems that support 280 bird species.
