Liwonde and Mangochi are at the centre of a major economic hub in southern and eastern Malawi. Tourism revenue has increased steadily year on year, which benefits the park, community members, small business operators and informal traders around the park. Some 43% of all visitors are Malawian.
A range of accommodation options all contribute to park revenue, from Chimwala Camp, a self-catering camp with spacious en-suite safari tents in the south of the park, to third party-owned lodges, such as Mvuu Lodge, Mvuu and Kuthengo camps. Chinguni House, a self-catering tourist accommodation facility overlooking the Shire River, with a capacity to accommodate 10 guests, was completed in 2024. Visitors to Liwonde can enjoy some of the best river-based elephant, crocodile, hippo and general wildlife viewing in Africa.
