Location

Southern Desert

Mkulumadzi is located in a private concession area within the Majete Wildlife Reserve, southwest of Blantyre in Southern Malawi.

Mkulumadzi is about 70km southwest of Malawi's second city, Blantyre – which is linked to Lilongwe and Johannesburg by direct scheduled flights. It is about a 2-hour transfer from Blantyre to Majete, on a good tarred road; this is quite a varied and spectacular trip down the escarpment, and a great way to arrive.
