| In the remote northern region of Malawi there are two contrasting reserves - the Nyika National Park and the Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve. Covering a total of 4120 square kilometres these two reserves contain the finest scenery, wildlife and wilderness areas to be found in the country, and only two lodges exist here, ensuring privacy and tranquility. The high montane Nyika Plateau is unlike anywhere else in Africa - vast beautiful and tranquil - and beneath the plateau lies the rugged hot bushveld of the Vwaza Marsh Game Reserve.
Being unlike anywhere else in Africa the biodiversity of flora and fauna to be found in the Nyika is fascinating and of great scientific importance. This vast, untouched, beautiful wilderness area is home to eland, (herds of up to 300 in the summer), roan antelope (the highest concentration in Africa), zebra, reedbuck, bushbuck, klipspringer, 3 species of duiker (red, grey and blue), warthog, bushpig and blue monkey. In the remote areas of the park(only accessible by foot or on horseback) there are elephant, buffalo, kudu, Sharpe's grysbok, baboon and vervet monkey. Predators include serval and side striped jackal and very healthy populations of spotted hyaena and leopard. With such varied habitat a large number of animal species can be seen and over 500 species of birds have been recorded between the two reserves (out of a total of 650 for Malawi). And in the summer months the wildflowers that carpet the grasslands are a sight to behold. In the summer months (October - April) the open hills burst into flower - irises, gladioli and protea. Of particular interest are the 200 species of orchid found in the park. |
