The elephant population has grown so much in the past years that it has become hard for them to survive, this is why some of them have been transported to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve for what was “the biggest elephant translocation in Malawi”. You are set to enjoy delicious meals and spectacular game viewing activities (morning and evening) for the next two nights of your tour here.
