Nyika National Park, Malawi

Malawi 's Nyika National Park is an experience that is unique to the area. The only way of entering the park is by 4x4, as the roads in and around the park become virtually impassable without one. Due to the high grasses, which provide good camouflage for the wildlife, the best method of viewing game is on horseback. Herds of elephant, kudu, buffalo, leopards and lions are all at home here.
