Mvuu Camp is situated just south of Mvuu Lodge on the banks of the Shire River in Malawi's Liwonde National Park.

It offers a wide range of options including camping, self catering and full board rates, as well as a range of activities. The activities on offer are the same as those offered at Mvuu Wilderness Lodge, but the camp is better suited either to families or those on a budget, as rates are very reasonable.

A particularly rewarding way of arriving at Mvuu Camp is via the boat trip from Liwonde Town. This river trip takes guests 30 kilometres along the Shire, offering an excellent chance to see game and birds en route and the ever changing scenery and vegetation along the banks.

There are nine comfortable walk-in tents with shared facilities and five en-suite brick chalets. A large wood and thatch dining and lounge area is situated nearby, offering a magnificent view upstream to the north. Among the "specials" is a specially constructed boma for dinners under the stars.

Elephant and Sable Antelope occur in large numbers, as do Hippo, Crocodile, Impala and Waterbuck. Leopard, Serval and the rare Oribi may occasionally be seen. Black Rhino have been reintroduced from South Africa's Kruger National Park, as have Zebra, Lichtenstein's Hartebeest, and Buffalo from elsewhere within Malawi.

Birds are prolific, especially along the Shire River where African Fish Eagle, Palmnut Vulture, African Skimmer and Pel's Fishing Owl are fairly common. Bohm's Beeeater, Lilian's Lovebird, Bat Hawk, Livingstone's Flycatcher, Whitebacked Night Heron and Brownbreasted Barbet are among the "specials".
