The team at Mkulumadzi Lodge is so excited that Shire, the lioness, has three new lion cubs in Majete, and after several months in hiding, the Majete Wildlife Research Programme caught the first sighting of these little cubs.
Majete is an unlikely story of resurgence and restoration. Just 13 years ago, this reserve was practically an empty forest devoid of most wildlife apart from a few remaining antelope. In 2003 we brought back rhinos; then elephants in 2006; in 2012 we reintroduced lions to the reserve, as well as a host of other species (13 in all and more than 2,500 animals!) making this reserve Malawi’s only Big Five destination. Now more than 12,200 animals are thriving within the park and not one rhino, elephant or lion has been poached since being brought back to the park. Good news in conservation is often the absence of bad news, but there’s good news to be shared happening all around us.
