Madikwe
Game Reserve is just 1.5 hours’ drive from Sun City; and is one of South Africa’s largest wildlife
sanctuaries.
Located in the
North-West province of South Africa along the Botswanan border, 20 km (13ml)
from Gaborone, the reserve lies within a transitional region between Lowveld
bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result, the region is host to an
incredible diversity of species from both ecosystems.
The Reserve is also 90km (56ml)
north of Zeerust, about 3.5 hours' drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Madikwe lies outside the Southern African malaria belt,
making it an ideal family safari
destination. Geographically, the region is endowed with
tremendous Inselbergs, sweeping open plains and riverines. The rich diversity
of vegetation ensures a vast array of game; while the topography affords
impeccable game viewing opportunities. Madikwe is home to 66 mammal species,
including the big five; and over 300 resident and migrant bird species. The
park also offers high standard accommodation at its lodges.
