Mamili National Park

Seldom visited, Mamili National Park protects the Linyati swamplands with its reeds, lakes and islands. Visiting this park is quite a mission with a 4×4, strong sense of adventure and survival skills all requisites. Wildlife includes large herds of elephant and buffalo, huge crocodiles, lion, leopard, hyena and game such as red lechwe, reedbuck, sitatunga and impala. Par for the course with this region, birding is excellent including species such as rosy-throated longclaw, Meves’s glossy starling and greater swamp warbler – with no other visitors to scare them away.
