Vwaza Game Reserve hides itself delightfully from the busy life of town, approximately 30Km South-West of Rumphi Boma. 
Situated in low lying area south east of Nyika, Vwaza seems to have perfected the beauty of its own class throughout its entire area of 1000Km2. It boasts of beautiful scenery characterized by herds of various species of animals. Common in the Game Reserve are the Hippos which register a strong presence and population. Other animals found there are elephants, kudus, warthogs, buffaloes, elands and impalas. 
Occasional sightings of lions are observed if you go deep into the Reserve and that will possibly cost you a great deal of your time before you see one. Crocodiles are also spotted. Birdlife is largely supported by the presence of herons, starlings and storks. Their presence is a “must watch” experience for all bird-watchers right from the lake to the surrounding woodland.

Lake Kazuni is a significant addition to the beauty of Vwaza Game 
Reserve as it displays its splendor shyly from the marshy wetlands. It is a favourite spot for all those who don’t want to walk or drive around the Reserve. Most animals and birds come to kill their thirst away here. The South Rukuru floodplains are a spectacular beauty to watch as the sun decides to set behind them.
