Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The Nyika Safari Company operates flights for a minimum of two people between Vwaza Marsh and Mzuzu (US$150 per person) or Chelinda Camp in Nyika National Park (US$112 per person). If you’re travelling by public transport, first get to Rumphi (reached from Mzuzu by minibus for US$1.50). From there fairly frequent matolas and minibuses run to the main gate (US$3). By car, head west from Rumphi. Turn left after 10km (Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve is signposted), and continue for about 20km. Where the road swings left over a bridge, go straight on to reach the park gate and camp after 1km.
