Madikwe - a theatre for your African wildlife safari

Madikwe remains a relatively well kept secret; voted by Getaway Magazine as one of South Africa’s 20 best secret places. Madikwe has also been included in The Rough Guide’s list of 24 things not to miss in South Africa.

Situated in The North West Province of South Africa close to the Botswana border, Madikwe can easily be reached either by a 45 minute air transfer direct from Johannesburg International Airport, or only three and a half hours drive from Johannesburg by road.

The accommodation available for visitors to the reserve ranges from rustic bush camps, to 5 star luxury and pampering, spas and wellness centres to relax and unwind, to bush villas that offer intimate luxury at excellent value for small groups.  The reserves malaria free status also makes it ideal for family safaris and many of the lodges specifically cater for children.  Some lodges offer special honeymoon packages and Madikwe is a spectacular place for a bush wedding.

Whichever option suits you best you will be treated to game drives and walks with professional guides who will ensure that you have an exceptional African safari experience.
