Welcome to Mkulumadzi Lodge in Majete Wildlife Reserve

In our many years of travelling to countries around the world staying in hotels / campsites / hostels etc. This has to come top of the list. Not just the gorgeous spot the lodge is in and great rooms, food etc, but it’s the people – nothing is too much trouble and always done with a smile, laugh, a joke and totally genuine. Our whole time here, which has been far too short, has been a complete joy and I feel any bucket of happiness has been more than topped up. A huge thank you to EVERYONE at the lodge for making our stay perfect on every level possible.

A fabulous stay in an amazing lodge in such a wonderful park. Thank you to all at Mkulumadzi. Your hospitality is first rate, all staff are so great and welcoming. Food was top notch in the words of Arnie S – I’LL BE BACK.

Thanks to you and your team for providing and enchanting experience for 3 days. Food was delicious, staff were hospitable. The surprise birthday cake celebrations for my spouse was the icing on the cake as was the overnight experience on the Sky bed. It was a real romantic adventure.

To all the staff. Because of you we had a wonderful time at your lodge. The smiles, friendliness, clean room, good food, it was amazing. You set the bar very high for other places we are going to. And the safaris were sooo great. Mali you are amazing!!

We loved this place! We loved the safari. We loved the pool. We loved the room. It was all awesome.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! The staff, the guides, the food, the animals, everything was top notch! We are so happy to have met you guys, you are stars! (with 8 stars on the page 😉)

Thank you for another amazing stay! The entire staff has been incredibly kind and welcoming, and could not have asked for better game drives! The food is second to none here in Malawi as well. Most of all, you have allowed us to show our family members, who are visiting Africa for the first time how beautiful and warm our gifted country is. Until next time!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing game runs! Really enjoyed the food and star bed!

Fantastic lodge. Staff. Great game drives with Tom. Saw lots of wildlife. Lovely food & ambience.

Thank you for amazing stay, fantastic services from the team. Very very very beautiful place. Dankie vir als, julle plek is baie mooi en die kos is baie lekker.

The location of the lodge is exceptional: it can only be reached by crossing a fun and swinging suspension bridge. The rooms are all classic safari style decorated and have a nice view over the Shire river. Always something going on: elephants and hippo’s show up regularly. The food was excellent, specialy dinner! We were treated to a delicious rumpsteak and a very tasty porkfillet the other day.

My wife and I cannot recommend Mkulumadzi enough. We have been fortunate to be able to travel all over Africa, and this was THE #1 most stunning location we've been to. The running river setting is incredible, especially when elephants are playing in it right outside your chalet. The Majete Reserve is an African wildlife success story. Mkulumadzi is run by the top-notch Robin Pope Safaris. You CANNOT go wrong with these guys, they know how to run a camp.

We have been to Africa many times, but Malawi was a new destination for us. You reach Mkulumadzi Lodge via a suspension bridge which you must walk across. The units are very spacious, with private decks overlooking the river, outdoor showers and indoor bathtubs in the large ensuite bathroom, small refrigerators, and plentiful room for putting personal items.

We had a great welcome from Conrad and Retha and an excellent guide in Mali, accompanied by Kenneth. The scenery is absolutely stunning - green and lush (well it was the end of the rainy season but even so), the beautiful Shire river with rapids is the view from camp and we enjoyed one of the best sundowner spots we've seen (won't give away the details in case you go!).

We regret that we only had one night in this stunning lodge. Our own little house with view to hippos in the river passing by. The food was amazing, the staff couldn’t be better- I felt like a princess. The game drives were awesome. The guides had so much knowledge about the wildlife and the plants and trees. I left a part of my heart in this place. Will definitely be back!
