Liwonde National Park, National park in Southern Region, Malawi

Liwonde National Park covers 548 square kilometres of dry savannah and woodland in Malawi's Southern Region, largely within Machinga District. A 30 km stretch of the Shire River crosses the park, including part of the shore of Lake Malombe. The park is bordered by a 129-kilometre electric fence, completed after African Parks took over management in 2015.

The area became a national park in 1973, creating a protected space for southern Malawi's wildlife. This designation started decades of effort to conserve the region's animal populations.

Local communities participate in educational programs about wildlife protection and sustainable practices, contributing to the park's conservation efforts.

The park lies near the Mozambique border in Malawi's Southern Region, with a 129-kilometre perimeter that African Parks fully fenced after 2015; the fence is monitored around the clock. Access is by road, and the Shire River flows through the park for 30 kilometres, including part of Lake Malombe's shore. Boat and walking safaris are among the ways to see the woodlands and dry savannah.

The park is home to a black rhino population brought back through targeted reintroduction efforts. This restoration project shows how wildlife can be successfully returned to landscapes where it once thrived.
