Malawi is a naturalist’s paradise, and boasts as rich a variety of large mammals as most African Countries; including the big five - buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard and rhinoceros. There are over 170 species of mammals and some 649 recorded species of bird.
As with everywhere, human population pressures have meant that most the big game species are now restricted to game reserves and national parks. Although these reserves are not as famous as some found in other East African countries, they offer comparable and excellent game viewing.${QuickSuggestions} To get the most out of a game viewing expedition you will need to take into account the climate. The best times of the year for game viewing is during the dry season August to November. Some parks will be closed or impassable without a four-wheel-drive vehicle during the raining season, particularly January - March. ${BestWay} Malawi Hotels: http://www.tripadvisor.com
