Thawale Lodge at Majete Wildlife Reserve in the south of Malawi has a great view of a watering hole which, at times, was full of animals while we were there. The tent we had boasted an outdoor bathroom including a real 'loo with a view'.

Malawi's only privately run, and one of the countries finest wildlife reserves, with plentiful animals and accommodation, but without the tourist crowds.

Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, located further to the north, was our next destination during our August 2020 overland trip through Malawi. From Kasungu National Park you have to link up with the M1 at a relatively large town called Kasungu, located in the Central Region of Malawi. The M1 meets the Zambian border at a small village called “Jenda”. So, in order to stay true to our strategy to trace the border, we turned left on an unmarked gravel road going west towards the Lundazi Border Post. From the border post the road is marked as the M10 and later also continues as the M9, passing thru numerous villages, underneath massive trees and across many locally made wooden and steel bridges all the way along the South Rukuru River.

It was a long day on the road and we only managed to reach Vwaza Wildlife Reserve after sunset. But we were soon rewarded with the serenity of this remote location as the night became alive! The reserve is located directly on the Zambian border north-west of Mzuzu nestled against Lake Kazuni and has a wonderful mix of vegetation including forest and grasslands, thin woodland and marsh. The perfect habitat for bird and animal life….and….we were not disappointed!

The location of the reserve also makes it a perfect stop-over on your way to Nyika National Park or the northern parts of Zambia.

We will most certainly be back!

In this video, I visited the Kumbali Game Reserve located in the capital city of Malawi, Lilongwe. I had an amazing experience because I saw different types of animals & learned some facts about them.I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did ❤️

Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve is Malawi’s oldest and largest reserve - encompassing 1,800km2 (180,000 hectares) of wild and rugged terrain. It extends east from the edge of the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley to just five kilometres short of the shoreline of Lake Malawi and is the ideal playground for hikers, mountain bikers and wilderness-seekers.

Nkhotakota is Africa at her most raw and beautiful, removed from the indignities of mass commercial tourism.

Thawale Lodge is a fully-catered lodge in Malawi's 70000 hectare Majete Wildlife Reserve. It's unfenced and overlooks a productive little waterhole that attracts loads of animals, especially during the dry season. Visitors stand a chance to see the Big Five here, along with African wild dogs and cheetahs.

In this video, I also share more information about Majete's other accommodation options, as well as activities like game drives, river walks and community tours.
