The first place we stayed on the barnstorming tour of Malawi was Mvuu lodge in Liwonde National Park. It is right on the Shire (pronounced Sheer ee) river that feeds out of Lake Malawi. This is hippo heaven; in fact, the name of lodge, Mvuu, means hippo in Chichewa.

| Skulls of crocs, hippos, and elephants who died of natural causes. |
