Majete Wildlife Reserve offers a year-round wildlife experience and each season offers something unique. More than 4000 animals have been reintroduced into the park, including elephant, black rhino, buffalo, zebra, sable antelope, eland, waterbuck, nyala, hartebeest, kudu and many more species. Four leopards were reintroduced in 2011/12 as part of a pioneering conservation project. There are also plans in place to reintroduce lions in 2012 which will make Majete a Big 5 Reserve. Guests can enjoy activities like professionally-led bush walks and game drives, allowing for an exploratory experience of the magnificent Majete Wildlife Reserve. Elephant tracking is a highlight and a unique experience, and for many it is a "once in a lifetime" event. Guests will go and search for elephants on foot using a radio transmitter and experience close encounters with these magnificent animals.
