Preserving Africa’s remaining wilderness areas requires community engagement as a fundamental pillar of our vision for sustainable conservation. Liwonde’s peripheral communities have historically faced problems of human-wildlife conflict, and we are proud that today, together with the work of the African Parks Network, Liwonde National Park and its surrounding area is a place in which both people and wildlife can thrive and, better yet, benefit from each other. As grassroots projects, Nanthomba School, located just outside the park boundary, was initiated by Mvuu Camp guides and is a base at which NGO Children in the Wilderness teaches a curriculum based on environmental conservation and the importance of Malawi’s wildlife.
