Majete Wildlife Reserve

Located in the south of Malawi close to the city of Blantyre, the Majete Wildlife Reserve is an area of 70.000 hectares, part of Africa’s Great Rift Valley.

The reserve is made up of mature miombo woodlands and granite topped hills that contrast with picturesque river valleys and lush riverine forest.
It is one of the big success stories in African conservation, as after decades of poaching, hard work has turned the reserve back into a sustainable development as well as the only official Big 5 Game Park (African buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhinoceros) in Malawi. Now previously-endangered species live and breed there and you can look forward to amazing encounters.

In the park you can find many animals, such as common eland, duiker, hippopotamus, impala, monkeys, nyala, reedbuck, sable and other antelopes, warthogs, waterbuck, zebras, crocodiles and tortoises.
