Madikwe Game Reserve
Madikwe is South Africa's fourth largest game reserve, offering you the opportunity to experience the magic of the Big Five and a malaria free African safari adventure.

Situated in the North West Province, Madikwe is only a 3½ hour drive from Johannesburg, an hour and a half from Sun City and an hour from Gaborone.

The Madikwe area is steeped in history and tradition.  The famous Mafikeng Road runs straight through the reserve - explorers, traders, hunters, missionaries and, of course, Mzilikazi passed this way during the making of South African history.  Today Madikwe is regarded as one of the finest conservation areas in Africa and is taking its place as South Africa's top wildlife destination.

Madikwe is a haven of amazing diversities.  The landscape has mountainous areas, plateaux, rocky hills, a perennial river, seasonal wetlands, a variety of sandy and clay areas, bushveld, Kalahari veld and savannah areas.  This broad spectrum of habitats supports an animal life which is consequently richly varied.

Guests to Madikwe are promised the chance of seeing the Big Five (the largest elephant population outside of Kruger, rhino, both black and white, the biggest disease free herd of buffalo in the country, lion and leopard), as well as the rare and endangered wild dog, cheetah, brown and spotted hyena and all other predators.  A multitude of plains game includes giraffe, zebra, springbok and sable, the first scientific discovery of which was in 1836 in this very area.

For birders, Madikwe is an unmissable destination with the latest official bird list boasting an incredible 400 species.

Madikwe offers a range of exclusive lodge facilities catering for every need, whim and budget.  From the very basic and rustic bush camp to the more up market Bush House, through to exceptional luxury safari and game lodges.  Game drives in open 4x4's with qualified guides take you into the very heart of this pristine environment to witness the interaction of the many species, where nothing lives in isolation and where survival means not only life, but also death.  The savage beauty of an African wilderness and the exceptional standards of the lodges has put Madikwe in a league of its own.

Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the true jewels in South Africa's wildlife destinations crown and we are delighted to let you in on this, our very well kept secret!
