Madikwe Game Reserve
Malaria-Free Big 5 Safaris in the Madikwe Game Reserve
The 76,000 hectare Madikwe Game Reserve is situated in the far north of North West Province, adjacent to the Botswana border and about a 4-5 hour drive from Johannesburg.
The reserve is home to 66 large mammal species including the Big 5, wild dog, cheetah, spotted hyena, giraffe, zebra, and many species of antelope. There have also been approximately 300 resident and migrant bird species recorded here.
Guests are taken on conducted day and night game drives or bush walks. Excellent accommodation is available at various private lodges in the reserve. There are no day visitor facilities - only residents at a lodge may enter the reserve.
It is one of South Africa's largest game reserves and a popular safari choice for visitors as it is in a malaria-free area and a number of the lodges also welcome children.
