Madikwe Game Reserve

Madikwe Game Reserve, is situated against the Botswana border, just three hours drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, is now one of South Africa's prime malaria free safari destinations.
Madikwe Game Reserve is home to 66 large mammal species including the Big Five and approximately 300 bird species. Madikwe is one of South Africa's large Game Reserves and has the distinction of being one of the few game reserves in the world to be proclaimed purely on the grounds of being the most appropriate and sustainable land use for an area.

Madikwe represents an extension to this philosophy in that it is run as a joint venture between the State, the private sector and local communities. The success of this approach has made Madikwe the role model for similar ventures being started up elsewhere in South

Africa. The reserve consists of vast plains of open woodlands and grasslands, dissected by the rugged Rant van Tweedepoort, and bordered in the south by the Dwarsberg Mountains. The area is dotted with huge rocky hills
The entire reserve has been enclosed in a 150 km perimeter fence which has been electrified to prevent the escape of elephants and the larger predators.
The reintroduction of game began early in 1991, shortly before the perimeter fence had been completed. Operation

Phoenix, as the reintroduction program is called, is the largest game translocation exercise in the world. More than 8 000 animals of 28 species have so far been released into the reserve, including elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, cheetah, Cape hunting dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, zebra and many species of antelope and herbivores. Leopard already occurred in the reserve. Operation Phoenix was completed in 1997.

Guests are taken on conducted day and night game drives or bush walks. Excellent accommodation is available at various private lodges in the reserve. There are no day visitor facilities; only residents at a lodges may enter the reserve.
