Malawi · Southern Africa
Liwonde and Majete.
Liwonde and Majete are the two parks that have been most transformed by reintroduction, and both now hold the Big Five.

Majete was effectively empty of large game by the early 2000s and has been restocked to the point of holding lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard. Liwonde, on the Shire River, offers boat safaris alongside drives and has had cheetah and lion returned to it.
Neither is Kruger, and neither pretends to be. They are quiet, well-managed and increasingly rewarding.
