“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.”

During my stay at House in the Wild, I set up a camera trap outside my room, not expecting much. To my surprise, in just a few hours, the camera captured a pride of lions, hyenas, and warthogs walking right past my room! The camp has no fences, but the guides walk you to and from your room when it's dark. (the time and date are wrong)

House in the Wild is an eco-friendly, family-owned safari lodge on the banks of the Mara River, nestled within the private Enonkishu Conservancy. Small and intimate, House in the Wild accommodates just 16 guests in six beautifully designed cottages. This boutique safari lodge allows you to immerse yourself in the rich traditions of East African life, offering a tranquil and serene environment. The dedicated team ensures every need is met while providing direct access to some of the world’s best wildlife viewing.

Not to overlook the smaller animals! It's always a delight to spot the banded mongoose. They’re often on the run, probably because they’re on the menu for predators like birds of prey, wild dogs, jackals, hyenas, and even snakes. These highly sociable creatures live in groups of up to 40 individuals. Living in such large groups provides safety in numbers and helps them gather more food.

The African Jacana, also known as the “Jesus bird"
The super-long toes spread the bird’s weight over a large area. This allows them to walk gracefully across floating vegetation, especially lily pads. Jacanas often appear to be walking on the water.

Imagine seeing one of the rarest animals
One of the fascinating species at Majete is the African wild dog, also known as the painted dog. Once roaming widely across Africa, these dogs are now among the most endangered carnivores on the continent. Over the past 50 years, their numbers have drastically declined, with only about 700 breeding pairs remaining today. In 2021, African Parks, alongside Malawi’s Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) and the Endangered Wildlife Trust, reintroduced wild dogs to Malawi after decades of absence.

Majete Wildlife Reserve was African Parks' first mandate, signed with the government of Malawi in 2003. Before this, Majete was an unknown reserve where nearly all its wildlife had been hunted. Only a few antelopes remained.

Thanks to African Parks, Majete now boasts abundant wildlife, provides hundreds of jobs, and supports thousands in the community, with education and health services.

Encountered an impressive pride of over 30 lions. The younger ones were eager, eyeing the Topis and preparing to stalk. Surprisingly, the Topis seemed unfazed, playfully chasing each other around instead of fleeing. As one of the fastest antelopes, they could easily outrun the lions if they needed to. Witnessing nature’s unique dynamics up close was unforgettable.

World Lion Day
No safari is complete without being in the presence of lions in their natural habitat. Their strength and regal presence truly embody the royalty of the wild. There’s nothing quite like hearing them roar at night while you relax in the comfort of your safari lodge.

Lions play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem by controlling the population of herbivores like zebras and wildebeests. But with their status listed as vulnerable and their numbers decreasing, according to the IUCN Red List, it's more important than ever to protect these magnificent animals.
