Madikwe Game Reserve

Situated in the North West Province, Madikwe Game Reserve is currently the fifth largest game reserve and is also one of the lesser- known parks in South Africa. This makes it a hidden- gem as it is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa and offers the Big 5 in a 680 km2 park (750 km2 including newly incorporated privately owned land).

The park offers a number of luxurious lodges as well as community lodges in a malaria- free zone. About 90 kilometres north of the town of Zeerust is Madikwe Game Reserve. It is situated against the Botswana border close to the Kalahari Desert. 5 hours in a car from Johannesburg/ Pretoria.

Safari Lodges are mostly located around the eastern and western gate. Accommodation: Access to Madikwe Game Reserve is only allowed once accommodation in the park is booked. There are no day visitors allowed. This makes the reserve a unique safari destination without the traffic and crowds.
