Malawi safaris to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve

Nkhotakota Reserve Malawi Wildlife Holidays

Explore Malawi’s Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve on Safari

A wildlife holiday to Malawi isn’t complete without visiting the breathtaking Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve—one of Africa’s last truly untouched ecosystems. Voyage2Africa invites you to explore this extraordinary wilderness on a range of immersive safari packages designed for travelers who value remote experiences, low-impact tourism, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Nkhotakota lies in central Malawi and spans over 1,800 square kilometers of rugged miombo woodland, crisscrossed by rivers and waterfalls. Thanks to the work of African Parks, this reserve has undergone a groundbreaking transformation, becoming a conservation success story. Hundreds of elephants and other species have been reintroduced, bringing this wild terrain back to life.

Begin Your Northern Circuit Safari in Nkhotakota

Our popular Malawi Northern Circuit safari begins in Nkhotakota—an off-the-grid destination known for its tranquil beauty and untouched landscapes. Stay at Tongole Wilderness Lodge, a pioneering eco-lodge built in harmony with the natural environment on the banks of the Bua River. This luxury retreat combines comfort with sustainability, offering exceptional service, forest views, and access to guided walking safaris and canoe excursions.

The 10-night itinerary includes all road transfers, full-board accommodation, and a variety of game-viewing activities. Discover this remote paradise on foot with expert guides, learning about the flora, birds, and larger mammals that now thrive in the reserve. With few vehicles and no crowds, it’s just you and the wilderness.
