Majete Wildlife Reserve, located in the southwestern part of Malawi, is a renowned conservation success story. Spanning over 700 square kilometers, the reserve is home to a variety of wildlife including the "Big Five" – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. Once depleted of its wildlife due to poaching and deforestation, Majete has seen a remarkable revival thanks to concerted conservation efforts by African Parks, a non-profit organization that assumed management in 2003. Visitors to the reserve can enjoy guided game drives, boat safaris on the Shire River, and walking safaris, all while staying in eco-friendly lodges that blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
