Question 1

Where is Majete Wildlife Reserve located?

Accepted Answer

Majete is located in south-western Malawi, in the Lower Shire Valley. It is about a two-hour drive from Blantyre, making the reserve easy to include in a route through southern Malawi.

Question 2

Can you drive yourself through Majete Wildlife Reserve?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Majete is very suitable for self-drives. Visitors can drive approximately 55 kilometres of regular roads independently, and with a 4x4, a further 350 kilometres of routes are accessible. During the wet season, a 4x4 may be necessary for certain sections.

Question 3

How many days do you need for Majete Wildlife Reserve?

Accepted Answer

We would recommend at least two nights. This gives you an evening and morning drive, as well as enough time to explore various routes along the river. With three nights, you can take things at a more relaxed pace and possibly add a guided game drive, walk or specialised birding drive. These activities are offered from within the reserve.
