Kuti wildlife reserve Malawi – Located just an hour from Lilongwe is Kuti Wildlife Reserve, one of Malawi’s smallest reserves, run by a non-profit trust committed to the conservation and protection of wildlife and the environment. This tiny gem offers lots of activities and sights for tourists. They include horse-riding, bike safaris, bird watching and, of course, the wonderful sunsets. Giraffe, zebra and antelope are the predominant wildlife here.
Kuti is located about 90 minutes’ drive from Lilongwe a few kilometres inland from Lake Malawi. The reserve’s habitats are diverse, ranging from brachystegia and miombo woodland through to grasslands, wetlands, and marshes. There’s diverse wildlife as a result, ranging from large mammals such as zebra, sable, kudu, giraffe through to primates and small carnivores as well as endemic species of butterflies and bats. Due to the lack of elephants and predators, it is possible to walk and cycle in the reserve.
The sunsets are quite spectacular – expect to spend many a night at Sunset deck with a drink in hand. Local communities are friendly, the market town of Salima is a bike taxi ride away and Senga Bay is an easy overnight or day trip.
