Situated in Malawi’s most southerly Wildlife Reserve, Mwabvi, these two camps offer the exciting chance to experience real wilderness with the added opportunity to become involved with the local community in important conservation work. Mwabvi had become in danger of deforestation together with the loss of wildlife through uncontrolled hunting. Now, thanks to Barefoot Safaris, who run the camps and Project African Wilderness (PAW), regeneration is the keynote.

Visitors can become involved in conservation work, acquire game scout skills, including tracking, and learn about the people and environment of Mwabvi.

Chipembere Camp, on the edge of the Reserve, has camping places and dormitory accommodation. Guests are expected to be self-catering but there are kitchen facilities, shower and toilet. Electricity is available for four hours after sunset. There is potable water from a borehole.

Migudu Camp has six tent places nestling between sandstone outcrops. Each has its own braai (cooking) area and viewpoint. There is a borehole for water supply and an ablution block by the reception area. A two-storied game viewing deck is shaded by a thatched roof. Firewood is on sale but visitors need to bring their own food and drinks.
