This Reserve is off the main M1 road, seventy miles south of Blantyre, in t
he Lower Shire Valley. Majete has been under new Management since 2003 and in a few years the park has changed a great deal! Many animal translocations have taken place and with 7 black rhinoceroses, 228 elephants, over 450 buffalo and many waterbuck, sable antelope, nyala, zebra, Liechtenstein’s hartebeests, kudu, and many more species. Currently over 4000 animals are roaming the 70 000 ha Reserve, making Majete Wildlife Reserve a unique well-balanced eco museum.
Since 2008 t
he whole Reserve has been surrounded by an electrified perimeter fence. And before 2012 the big cats will be introduced, starting with cheetahs and then lions and leopards will be back in Majete Wildlife Reserve.
The Kapichira Falls offer one of the most astounding views in Malawi, with water crashing over rock formations formed thousands of years ago. Beautiful sedimentary and metamorphic patterns can be found in the architecture of the rock.
New facilities have been built so that it's now possible to stay in the Reserve, either in luxury safari tents at Thawale Camp, or by camping at the Majete Community Campsite. A variety of activities is now available to all visitors.
