 Community: Children in the Wilderness
Situated about six kilometres from Mvuu Lodge’s western boundary in Malawi, Kafulafula School has only six teachers and over 600 children - many of whose parents work at Mvuu Lodge and Camp. As with many schools in Malawi, it is understaffed, under funded and poorly equipped, but since Mvuu started taking guests to visit the school, much has been achieved and their involvement has grown steadily. The resources of the school have been boosted through a combination of financial assistance from Mvuu’s guests and Wilderness - a new classroom block has been built and books and uniforms are supplied to the children on a regular basis.
 In addition, Mvuu hosts over 2000 schoolchildren annually from all over Malawi on day visits to Liwonde National Park and Mvuu Camp. This goes a long way towards encouraging a sense of appreciation and responsibility for Malawi’s threatened natural heritage. The children are hosted by the Mvuu staff and taught by their schoolteachers about the importance of conservation. Often a boat trip or game drive is included in their visits. These are sometimes the children’s first glimpse of wildlife in their own country!
The first Children in the Wilderness programme for Malawi’s underprivileged children was run in March 2003. The eventual aim is to extend this initiative to 40 children at a time (by booking off both Mvuu Lodge and Camp simultaneously). Funding and support from companies within the private sector in Malawi and beyond are being saught, as are donors to sponsor long-term education of either individuals or a group of children. | Rate includes

Sorry it has taken so long to reply but I am still editing all the wonderful photos. What can I say about Mvuu...
Well for one, why did you not tell us how fantastic it really is and let us book in for at least a week!!!- only joking, but it was great, the staff are good and the game guiding is very good. we had a wonderful experience with some elephants on the shoreline while we where in the boat.
The food is good and well presented and served, wine selection at camp is good. Having now been home for a few weeks I can not really think of anything bad about the camp, but I would recommend that it is probably worth staying for at least 3 days as it is so relaxing, I will be bringing my wife back at some stage in the near future.
The one slight disappointment is probably the lack of variety of wildlife but I believe with their conservation work that will be getting better so thank you very much and hope to be back soon.
PS. The view from the room is something special: crocs and things - wow !!!!!!!!
