Once ruined farm land has been transformed into one of Africa’s most spectacular game reserves. Located in a malaria-free zone, Madikwe Game Reserve is bordered by neighboring Botswana and hosts a wide variety of species, including the Big 5.
​
Three packs of endangered African wild dogs wonder the park’s plains, while herds of elephants, buffaloes, rhinos and various antelope species provide amazing viewing opportunities. Lions, cheetahs and spotted hyenas are always on the prowl, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled.
​
Vast open plains of grasslands, dense woodlands, rocky outcrops and mountains provide spectacular vistas as far as the eye can see. An intimate experience is ensured with safari guides heading off the track to get you as close as possible to the approximately 10,000 mammals and 300 bird species that are supported within the park.
Accommodation options vary from self-catering and family-friendly to more luxurious, all-inclusive ones. Whatever your choice, you’re guaranteed an African safari experience you won’t forget.
