Nyika National Park

The nation’s largest national park at 3250 sq km, Nyika contains one of Africa’s finest examples of montane plateau with high densities of leopards (the highest population in Central Africa) as well as zebras, roans, duikers, elands and reedbucks. The park is also home to elephants and buffalos as well as warthogs, bushpigs and hyenas. With the undulating landscape one can view game 10km away. 

Marked trails for those ready to hike and camp covering the various peaks and valleys offers chances to encounter the animals in the park close at hand.  Nyika is also popular with birdwatchers with more than 400 species including rare denhams bustard, the wattled cranes and the endemic red winged francolin. Other activities within the park include trekking, mountain biking, 4x4 excursions and horse riding.
