With so many wild animals fearing for an imminent extinction, Majete National Park a successful attempt at making sure some of them are saved. They have the big five. I couldn't get to see any of them but it was evident they were there. We only managed to see some of the impala family and warthogs. The view from Dr David Livingstone's camp onto the Kapichira Barrage was awesome. The roads are amazingly good. The guides and rangers are very friendly and could tell us all about the park and its game. Hell, they even have some nice tales on how some of the animals got their names. The camps at Thawale Lodge were scary at first but we slept through the night without any issues. The food was great. The staff were friendly too. It is a great getaway. I was particularly interested in the floral composition of the view so you'll notice a lot more photos of trees than animals.

What a wonderful hidden gem of a wildlife reserve. Beautiful scenery of bushes, trees and rivers. And of course the Shire river, meandering along the reserve, on it's way from Lake Malawi to the Zambezi. Even in the water-rich and overgrown rainy season, when most animals are hard to spot, we saw hippo's, crocs, zebra's, elephants, sable antilopes, warthogs, buffalo's and reebok. Although we didn't find giraffes, on our last morning before we left, we had the privilege to encounter one of the 17 black rhino's in the park. What an experience! On our two day stay (night spent in comfortable tents at the excellent Thawale Lodge), we were accompanied by a very sociable and experienced guide from African Parks. What a joy to have all your questions answered, not only about all mammals and every little bird in view, but also about reptiles (the twig snake!), flowers and even insects. Thank you very much Liwonde! And thanks Roger for the great hospitality!

Amazing and unique wildlife reserve, with knowledgeable guides to appreciate the abundant wildlife. Spreading over 700sq miles, you can immerse yourself in the discovery of the animals found in Malawi 🇲🇼

Good place to all people

This is a place where you can get real information about Sukuma tribe! You can find many historical information about Sukuma!

Traditional sukuma dance and history

The Majete Wildlife Reserve is a protected area located in the southern region of Malawi Africa. It covers an area of approximately 70000 hectares and is known for its rich biodiversity and conservation efforts. The reserve was established in 1955 but unfortunately due to rampant poaching and illegal activities the wildlife population drastically declined. As a result in 2003 African Parks a non-profit conservation organization took over the management of the reserve in collaboration with the Malawian Government. Since then Majete Wildlife Reserve has undergone significant transformation. African Parks implemented various conservation strategies such as anti-poaching patrols community involvement habitat restoration and reintroduction programs. As a result the reserve has witnessed a remarkable recovery with the wildlife population bouncing back and flourishing. Today Majete Wildlife Reserve is home to a wide range of animals including elephants rhinos lions leopards hyenas zebras and various species of antelopes. The reserve is also a haven for bird enthusiasts with over 300 species of birds recorded. In addition to wildlife conservation Majete Wildlife Reserve also focuses on benefiting the local communities. African Parks has implemented community development programs that provide employment opportunities education healthcare and support for sustainable agriculture practices. This has significantly improved the relationship between the reserve and its surrounding communities fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the preservation of the wildlife and natural resources. Visitors to Majete Wildlife Reserve can enjoy a variety of activities such as guided game drives walking safaris bird-watching tours and boat cruises on the Shire River. There are also several accommodation options available within or near the reserve ranging from luxury lodges to camping sites. Overall Majete Wildlife Reserve stands as a remarkable example of successful wildlife conservation efforts and a testament to the positive impact that can be achieved through collaboration between conservation organizations and local communities.

It is a nice place to learn about sukuma culture

Amazing museum with items of sukumas collected for more than 50 years.

Beautiful park and worth a visit, roads inside the park are really good. Great conservation success story!

Fantastic experience, bit expensive but totally worth with lions crocodiles hippos and elephants, very peaceful looking shire river , enjoyed the tour

Really nice park, doable in one day. Lots of antilope species. Great to stay for longer time in the hideouts! Check the info center for recent spottings and the roadmap. Okt 2016 18 rhinos were in the park but they are hard to see.

Fantastic overnight camping experience with Henry as our guide. We saw almost all that the park has to offer in just two drives - lions, a leopard, big elephant, zillions of beautiful antelope species, water buffalo, hippos and crocs and, the final surprise, a young male giraffe munching the tree tops, couldn’t have been better, thank you Henry

Beautiful National Park, perfect place for a Safari drive and lunch

Mejete is a great place. We were positively suprised by our experience. We had heard a lot about Liwonde NP, but less about Mejete. We saw many animals. Not the big 5, but a lot of elephants. Our guide was great. We stayed 1 night at Thawale Lodges. This place is great and the staff is professionnal. Food was delicious and very good quality. A great chef. The lodge is great and a lot of animals come to drink water (including elephants). We stayed in a ‘’luxuary tent’’ with AC, shower and hot water. There is also a natural pool. We booked with a company called the Travel Centre in Blantyre. The Amaryllis hotel provided their contact information. Transportation, food and and accommodation were included. It is also possible to book on the Mejete reserve website directly. It is also possible to go with your own car and just spend the day there. I highly recommend for a budget friendly safari. Cheaper than most safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Also less crowded. Thank you !

I was excited to be in only Malawian game reserve with the big five. experiencing Lions, Elephants, Hippos, Tigers and rhinos was just amazing. The interesting part of experiencing the part is that you guided by professional tour guiders. I was also enjoy camping with friends. Magete game reserve is a big deal forever!!!!

Enjoy the African safari and game viewing. A visit to this place was awesome!

Amazing for photography!

Very good place for refreshment

Beautiful safari. Saw lots of wild animals here and felt safe during the ride in the open to air jeep. The guide driving us did not seem interested in giving us a tour at first - he would look down at his phone a lot after stopping at the wild dog area, then began to chat with his coworkers when the dogs went away instead of driving us to another area of animals. He also did not talk a lot about the animals and had to be questioned for him to talk, but toward the end of the trip he warmed up and gave us a better ending to the tour. Enjoyed this experience and hope to see a lion or tiger next time, or some monkeys, Buffalo, or rhinos.

A historical collection site with a good ngoma show dancing with big snake
