Lengwe National Park

About
Lengwe National Park is a national park in Malawi located near the town of Chikwawa and about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Blantyre. Lengwe's topography is unusual for Malawi and consists of open deciduous forests and dense thickets. It is the home of the reclusive Nyala antelope.
The climate of Lengwe is hot and dry, and rain is the only source of consistent water. Many man-made water holes have been constructed to attract and maintain the animal population. Jambo Africa Ltd operates Nyala Lodge for visitors. Animals that inhabit this park include giraffe, spotted hyena, leopard, warthog, kudu, impala, Samango monkey, reedbuck, Cape buffalo and suni; and many interesting birds, particularly shrikes, rollers, bee-eaters and the Yellow-spotted nicator.
