Project African Wilderness (Malawi) is a Not for Profit Company working to conserve and develop Mwabvi Wildlife Reserve. PAW’s main responsibilities under the terms of the management agreement entered into with the Malawi Government on 7th February 2007 include Park Management, community development and tourism.

PAW carries out conservation and development work. The National Parks team are still legally responsible for anti-poaching work and controlling access, we work closely together.

Our Reserve base is at Chipembere Camp, on 5 acres of land donated by the local people just outside the Reserve entrance. Chipembere is the Chichewa name for the Black Rhino, our camp is so named because Mwabvi was the last natural habitat of the black rhino in Malawi 

In the UK PAW is established as a not for profit company and charitable Trust. The Trust fundraises for the conservation work in Malawi, promotes sound conservation principles and also organises the education programme.
