When you arrive
What to expect
A reserve with public and guided activities, road conditions that vary by season, and a landscape larger and rougher than its gateway distance suggests.
Local knowledge
Local tip
Keep the Shire River, surrounding highlands, and neighboring communities in the story; Majete's significance is larger than a species checklist.
Visiting
Getting there
The routed road descends from Blantyre into the lower Shire Valley and ends at Majete's mapped access road.
