Richly diverse and malaria free, 76,000 hectare Madikwe game reserve is in the North West Province on the border with Botswana. A short flight from Johannesburg will transport you into this stunning wilderness, home to Africa's Big 5 and thriving populations of Black rhino, Cheetah and Wild Dogs. We've chosen 4 very different style Lodges, from the traditional thatch to the ultra modern. You'll get the very highest levels of service at each along with superb game viewing. There are species found in Madikwe that are not present in other reserves such as the Kruger area. We think you'll find Madikwe every bit as good as it's more famous rival, if not better. Why not visit Madikwe along with a stay at Sun City, only 2 hours drive or a short hop by plane, it makes the perfect relaxation and safari combo.
