Walking Safari In Majete Reserve

Our specialists say

The Majete Wildlife Reserve & Lake Malawi provide a stunning alternative safari experience without the crowds, perfect for first time visitors to Africa or repeat safari-goers looking for something different.

Enjoy two very contrasting but wonderfully complementary sides of Malawi by spending time in one of its remarkable wildlife reserves before heading on to the shores of iconic Lake Malawi for your beach time. With easy journeys between each of the areas, this trip is perfect if you are looking for a short safari and beach break in the Warm Heart of Africa.

Start off your trip by flying in to Malawi’s second city, Blantyre, where you will be met and transferred by road in to the Majete Wildlife Reserve. Regarded as one of the great success stories of African conservation, Majete is a Big Five reserve and will provide you with a truly amazing safari experience. With abundant wildlife, stunning landscapes and an outstanding lodge from which to enjoy the experience, you will be guaranteed a truly incredible time in the bush. From Majete you will be transferred up to the southern shores of Lake Malawi where you will be able to sit back and enjoy some time in the sunshine. Your lodge sits above a beautiful sandy beach which leads down to the warm waters of the lake, renowned for being a superb swimming, snorkelling and diving spot. You can see beautiful fish called cichlids as you explore this underwater wonderland or enjoy a variety of watersports on the lake surface. Alternatively you can explore the area surrounding the lake on foot or by bike and visit local villages to meet the wonderfully friendly people who are such a hallmark of this delightful country.

This really is a wonderful adventure and allows you to get under the skin of arguably Africa’s most underrated destinations. Abundant wildlife, beautiful beaches, superb places to stay and a chance to get away from the crowds are all on offer in Malawi and now is the time to visit.
