Liwonde is the local gateway beside the Shire River and the park's southern access landscape.
The town makes the river corridor and the park boundary legible instead of presenting Liwonde as an isolated wildlife pin.
The dry months generally make roads and wildlife viewing easier; some park roads can close in the rainy season.
The Circuit uses the mapped southern access area, while internal park travel remains subject to current road and activity guidance.
