Mvuu Underground Photography Hide
Run by Central African Wilderness Safaris · Aug–Nov
About
An underground hide beside a water source at Mvuu in Liwonde National Park, giving an eye-level view of animals coming to drink. It is part of the activity programme for guests at Mvuu Camp and Mvuu Lodge rather than sold separately, and a guide accompanies sessions. It opens in the late dry season.
