Majete Wildlife Reserve

Majete Wildlife Reserve is a pristine wilderness embodying the essence of African conservation success in the southern reaches of Malawi. The reserve covers 70,000 hectares of diverse landscapes, from rugged hills to lush riverbanks, and is a testament to the remarkable restoration of nature in the heart of Africa. Once plagued by poaching and habitat loss, Majete is now a sanctuary for a rich tapestry of wildlife, thanks to an ambitious restoration project that reintroduced several species, including the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Hear the sound of lion roars reverberating through the park and witness herds of elephants meandering along the Shire River. 

Venture into the reserve, and you'll encounter a captivating array of animals, from impalas to leopards. Birdwatchers will have over 300 avian species to spot, including fish eagles and lilac-breasted rollers. Majete's stunning landscapes provide a dramatic backdrop for your safari adventures. Explore the winding trails, where you might come across crocodile-infested waters, ancient baobab trees, and breathtaking vistas from the Chikwawa Escarpment. The reserve's community-based approach ensures that local people are engaged in preserving this natural wonder, making your visit not only a memorable adventure but also a meaningful contribution to safeguarding Africa's biodiversity.
