Why Visit Majete Wildlife Reserve?
Restored Wilderness, Authentic Encounters
There is a healthy population of elephants and the lion population has recently been bolstered. Having lain mostly in ruins at the beginning of the millenium, perhaps the real charm is visiting this park is to see how nature and wildlife have regained their foothold here under the careful eye of a dedicated team of game rangers. Sightings of predators are rare, but with a bit of luck and a knowledgeable guide, you can make it happen.
