Malawi Parks
By Ariadne van Zandbergen
Ariadne is a renowned Africa expert. She and her husband form a team who write and update many Bradt guides, including the guide to Malawi.
With over 300 species recorded, Majete offers great bird watching. The reserve is home to four species of vulture and there is a big concentration of the beautiful bateleur eagle. Birding specials include boulder chat, Livingstone flycatcher, Boehm’s bee-eater, cuckoo hawk and rock pratincole. However, as with most Big Five reserves, the emphasis doesn’t tend to be on birding, so serious birders should consider booking private game drives.

Best Time for Bird Watching
While all year round is good for birdlife in Majete Wildlife Reserve, the Wet season from November to April is the best time for bird watchers. This is due to migratory birds in the reserve at this time. The peak time for general wildlife viewing is in the Dry season (May to October).
