Mangochi Forest Reserve- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Mangochi Forest Reserve, covering 407 km², is a mountainous area with woodlands and forests, connecting to Liwonde National Park. It serves as a vital habitat for elephants and other wildlife, as well as an important water catchment area. The reserve faced declines in mammal populations and forest degradation due to logging in recent decades. However, since 2018, African Parks has managed the reserve, significantly improving biodiversity protection, forest conservation, and maintaining its ecological link to Liwonde. The reserve is home to elephants, leopards, and various bird and butterfly species.
