Kasungu National Park, Malawi's second-largest, offers a raw and relatively untouched safari experience. The park is characterized by its diverse landscape, ranging from woodland and savanna to dambos (wetlands). Wildlife viewing is possible, though animal populations have been affected by poaching in the past; visitors may spot elephants, antelopes, zebras, and a variety of bird species. Accessibility can be challenging, especially during the rainy season (November to April), when some roads become impassable, potentially restricting movement and wildlife viewing. Guided tours are highly recommended for navigating the park and maximizing wildlife sightings. Solo visits are possible, but less advisable due to the park's vastness and the potential for getting lost. Costs typically involve park entry fees, accommodation (options range from basic campsites to lodges), and potentially vehicle hire and guide fees. A typical visit duration is 2-3 days to allow for a thorough exploration of the park's different areas. Keep in mind that due to historical poaching, animal sightings may be less frequent than in other more popular African parks; the experience is more about enjoying the wild and relatively undisturbed nature.
