Majete is the premiere national park in Malawi thanks to an organization called African Parks that has been instrumental in introducing the Big Five since it took over management in 2003 after it had been decimated by poachers. Since then they have worked with the local villages and the entire reserve is now fenced with several scout camps situated around the perimeter to monitor for breaches around the borders. 18 giraffes were recently introduced and were well acclimated evidenced by several sightings along the Shire river. On one of our game drives we witnessed an impala staring into the bush barking an alarm call. A view through binoculars prompted by our guide revealed 2 leopards cruising the hood! My sister and I were volunteers for an Earthwatch project working with 3 researchers, setting up camera traps to assess animal populations and looking at elephant behavior with help of a newly acquired drone. Researchers work with park staff and local villagers to help keep a balanced ecology ( one ongoing project is constructing beehives as a deterrent to set up near the magnificent baobab trees which are being ravaged by the elephants)! We stayed in the campground but there is an overnight lodge near one of the several artificial solar powered waterholes. The park staff can arrange bird watching (eagles, vultures, bee eaters, storks, owls), night drives, a local village ( non touristy visit with food and mat making demo and traditional dancing which was amazing!) I have visited several countries in Africa and this trip was very rewarding and renewed my hope in the future of conservation by immersion in the local culture with dedicated well organized, focused efforts by African Parks and Earthwatch. I highly recommend visiting Majete. Lake Malawi is not far for an additional destination! Malawi is known as the warm heart of Africa due to the friendliness and engagement of the people.
