It is one of the largest and most exclusive private game reserves in South Africa. Madikwe’s wooded-hills give way to flat savannah plains, characterized by deep-red earth and sekelbos thickets extending into the dryer yellow-sanded Kalahari plains as you make your way west into the 75 000-hectare reserve. A beautiful diversity of biomes roamed freely by Africa’s notorious Big Five as well as many other mammal species. Twice daily game drives are conducted by qualified guides in open vehicles, giving you the best opportunities to view the wide range of animals in the Madikwe Reserve, with frequent sightings of the Big 5.
