President Lazarus Chakwera, who has spotlighted tourism as a key pillar in revitalizing Malawi’s economy, has called on citizens to visit Majete Wildlife Reserve to support the country’s tourism sector. Speaking during a visit to the reserve in Chikwawa with First Lady Monica Chakwera, the President emphasized the need for Malawians to embrace local tourism to stimulate growth in the industry.

During his tour, Chakwera explored several key sites within Majete, including the Honey Processing Unit, Conservation Monitoring Area, Enforcement Control Room, Memorial Pillar, and Thawale Lodge.
