Getting there & away
The quickest way to reach Chelinda Camp is on a flight by Nyika Air Services. Flights for up to five people can be chartered from Lilongwe (US$999), while rates from Mzuzu are US$150 per person. There are no public buses into the park; the nearest you can get is the service from Mzuzu to Rhumpi (US$1). From there, you can get a matola or minibus to Chelinda Camp (US$6.00). If coming by car, the main Thazima gate is in the southwest of the park, 54km from Rumphi; to Chelinda Camp it’s another 55km. Fuel is available at Chelinda, but in limited supply so it’s best to fill up before you enter the park.
