Chimwenya Game Park spans a total of 500 acres and is home to an impressive array of wildlife in one of the last remaining indigenous forests and grasslands of the Shire Highlands of Southern Malawi. You may see giraffe, eland, zebra, waterbuck, duiker, blue wildebeest, sable, nyala, impala and jackal roaming the terrain on your visit.
All stays at Game Haven Lodge include free activities in our park.
Well known for their long necks, these gentle giants are the world’s tallest living land animals. An adult male can grow to around 5.5m.
The zebra stands out from the crowd. Weighing up to 650 pounds, they are short and stocky with a black coat and white stripes.
They can run up to 40 mph, which is pretty fast! Although, unfortunately for them, not as fast as lions or cheetahs.
They are great jumpers, despite their huge size, and can clear a two-metre fence with ease.

Their long, spiral horns curve backward, then forward. Only the males have horns, which can grow up to 22-39″ long.
Impalas are fleet runners who are able to leap distances of up to 33 feet.
Nyala have long ears and excellent sense of hearing. Eyesight is poor, despite large eyes.
The Duiker gets its name from the Afrikaans word ‘duiker’ which means to dive, relating to the animal’s habit of ducking away into bushes when danger threatens.
Jackals like to eat snakes and other reptiles, smaller gazelles, sheep, insects, fruit, berries and sometimes even grass.
