NYIKA NATIONAL PARK

The most Northern Park

Nyika National Park

Located along the Zambian border in northern Malawi, the Nyika National Park features forested valleys, lush woodlands, and vast grasslands. It is Malawi’s largest park extending across the great plateau which rises up to 1800 metres. Aside from conventional safaris, Nyika is wonderful for walking, mountain biking and horse riding safaris, and 4×4 excursions.

It is not just the game that attracts visitors, the rolling scenery is often covered in wildflowers and in the rainy season, there are over 200 types of orchid in flower. Commonly spotted wildlife include duiker, eland, roan, leopard, zebra, lion, elephant, buffalo as well as over 400 bird species.

Beste time to visit Nyika National Park

Best time to visit Nyika National Park is between May and October, when temperatures are favourable and rainfall is little. During the wet season it’s very hot, not the best time to venture here.
