Understand

Majete Wildlife Reserve, managed by African Parks (Majete) Ltd., is a conservation project in Malawi. Established in 2003, the aim is to restore and develop the reserve to demonstrate the importance of biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource utilization. African Parks, in collaboration with the Malawi government, has been restocking the reserve with a variety of game species including black rhino, buffalo, waterbuck, zebra, and many more. The initial phase of the project involved the construction of an intermediate fence, enclosing 14,000 hectares where the restocking takes place. Infrastructure upgrades have also been carried out, including the construction of roads, scout houses, administration facilities, and a luxurious tented camp. The future plan is to complete the perimeter fence, allowing the game animals to freely disperse throughout the entire Majete Wildlife Reserve.
