South African Safaris- The Madikwe Game Reserve





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.
