Day 3 – 5: Nyika National Park – Chelinda Camp

On the 3rd day, we leave Bua River Lodge and drive to Chelinda Lodge which is located in the heart of Nyika Plateau within Nyika National Park. The lodge is nestled in the alpine highlands of the park where you have a view of rolling hills. It gets cold in the evening and hence warm clothes are recommended to supplement the provided fireplaces. Here you will enjoy several activities that include bush walks, mountain biking, birding and game drives.
