Blantyre is the southern city gateway between Liwonde and the lower Shire approach to Majete.
It marks a real change in transport geography and provides services before the final descent into the reserve landscape.
Allow more time than distance alone suggests on the final reserve approach, especially during wet-season conditions.
Majete's official visitor information places the reserve about 70 kilometres and roughly 90 minutes from Blantyre.
