As with all WS lodges, the service at Mvuu was great. The tents were fantastic - we stayed in number 7, which - albeit a bit of a walk from the main area - was huge. Hammocks outside, a huge veranda and a mosquito net that hung down almost a metre from the bed. The eating area is elevated over... More

A lodge in the National Park with prices to match. Beware they charge $15usd pppn for camping and then insist on adding the 1% tourist tax ontop which is very annoying. Since the Lodge is inside the park you pay the day rate for the park for each day you are at the lodge so the price is even more... More

If you are set on "the big five" then this may not be for you but if you want an exceptional experience with personalized service and incredible beauty, go to Mvuu! I booked this last minute at the end of a medical trip and was so glad I did! Wilderness Adventures went out of their way to find me transport... More

This was a memorable experience. We stayed for just one night but packed a lot in. The river trip up the Shire to get there was great and then we arrived...! Absolute luxury. Tented roomes but inside shelters with enormous beds and both indoor and outdoor showers. Mosquito nets about 300cm from bed so did not feel aware of them... More

What a beautiful place ! I spent 3 nights last september at Mvuu Lodge and really loved it. The lodge is on the Shire River, and you reach it by boat. Plenty of hippos and crocodiles in the river, on the short "crossover" to the Lodge, you already get an intruduction into what avaits you. The bar / restaurant /... More

Stayed for three nights in the lodge accommodation which provided a first class introduction to wild life in Malawi including the hippos. Reached the lodge from Hippo Lodge by the Shire river and river trip provided an interesting introduction to the wildlife. Can't fault the quality of the food and the service and the guides were very well informed on... More

I stayed at Mvuu Camp. Wilderness Safaris has two sites in the Park which are linked by a dirt road. The Lodge is more expensive and luxurious than the camp. I chose to stay at the camp. It has I believe 10 chalets - tents that are built on concrete blocks. Each chalet has it's own little patio with a... More
