Kasungu National Park, Malawi's second-largest, offers a raw, untamed safari experience. The dry season (May-October) is optimal for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources; accessibility may be limited during the rainy season. Guided tours are highly recommended due to the park's vastness and the potential for encountering wildlife. The park is generally less crowded than other more popular African parks, providing a more secluded experience. Costs vary depending on the type of accommodation (camping to lodges) and activities chosen. A typical visit lasts 2-3 days to allow for adequate exploration. Accessibility within the park can be challenging, requiring a 4x4 vehicle. While solo travel is possible, it is not advised due to safety concerns regarding wildlife encounters; it's best to travel with a reputable tour operator or with a group.
