Lengwe National Park
		Lengwe National Park lies within the lower Shire Valley about 75 kms from Blantyre is Malawi’s southern most national park. Due to the area being ideal for sugar cane, much of the surrounding area has been transformed into plantations. Within the Park many of the animals have been poached out, yet the scenery is beautiful and hours can easily be spent around the water holes bird watching or walking through the bush. It is probably most famed for its large populations of the Nyala antelope, not found in the other northern parks of Malawi. Other antelope, such as bushbuck, impala, duiker and kudu are found here as well as warthogs, monkeys and baboons. Unfortunately, poaching has taken it's toll in this park and along with the dense vegetation sightings of animals is harder than in some other parks.
