Madikwe Game Reserve

The Madikwe Game Reserve, situated on the Botswana border, only 3 hours drive from Johannesburg is now one of South Africa’s prime safari destinations. Madikwe is a Big 5 reserve covering 75000 hectares, and is one of the largest reserves in South Africa. An amazing diversity of vegetation ensures a wide variety of Game and game viewing opportunities.

Madikwe has the distinction of being one of the few reserves in the world to be proclaimed purely on the grounds of being the most appropriate and sustainable use of land for a particular area.

A special feature of Madikwe lies in its unique location, a transition zone on the edges of the Kalahari, where a number of rare species occur naturally, and the bushveld. The climate is generally mild to hot, but winter nights can be cold. It is very close to Pilansberg National Park and there is currently a two year scheme between the two parks that will eventually lead to there being a corridor between the two park
