Madikwe Game Drive

Madikwe Game Drive will help you make the best of your guided game drives in this region.

The Madikwe Game Reserve, situated against the Botswana border, just an hour's drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, is one of South Africa's prime safari destinations and its fifth biggest game reserve. Madikwe is a Big Five game reserve covering some 75,000 hectares. The rich diversity of vegetation ensures a wide range of game, and the topography offers ideal game-viewing opportunities for wilderness safaris. Madikwe is also one of the few places where you can see the Brown Hyena and the Aardwolf, making it extra special.

The perfect companion to any foray into the savannah, Madikwe Game Drive includes not only beautiful photographs of a wide array of birds, mammals, and reptiles but informative text that is both extremely compact and highly comprehensive. All statistics that could conceivably help a viewer to identify, catalog, and learn about each animal are provided in a concise and clear format. The Latin and colloquial names for each animal are included, along with the Afrikaans, French, German, and Tswana names. The listings are given ratings for rarity of sightings, and each animal has a tick box for viewers to mark upon sighting.
