Liwonde

Liwonde serves as a dormitory, support center, and access base for tourists and researchers traveling to Liwonde National Park.

The main ethnic groups in Liwonde are the Chewas and the Yaos, with minorities of the Ngoni and Lomwe peoples.

Liwonde's economy is basically agricultural, centered on the production of various crops including corn flour, tomatoes, and bananas.

In 2002, Liwonde had a residential supply of water and electricity, but it was not available to the majority of the population.

Liwonde has one of the most important railway stations on the Nacala railway, linking Mwanza and Nkaya to Nayuchi and the Port of Nacala.
