The malaria-free, Big Five Madikwe Game Reserve is located in South Africa's North West province. Established in 1991 and comprising of 750 square kilometres of magnificent bushveld, this reserve was named after the Madikwe or Marico River, on whose basin it is located.
South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve offers travellers an adventurous and rewarding safari experience with close encounters of the 'Big 5' (lions, buffalo, rhinos, leopards and elephants) which roam this vast, malaria-free reserve.
This bushveld habitat in the North West Province is home to the rare brown hyena, which is not often seen in other regions of South Africa. Besides the gemsbok, eland and sable are two other uncommon antelope species travellers encounter here. Serval and caracal are elusive, but can sometimes be spotted on night drives.
Lion is plentiful, with sightings of cheetah and leopard being rarer. The endangered wild dog can often be seen which has become extinct in some other areas of Africa. Both black and white rhino are present with the white rhino being very common. With only a few vehicles traversing the Madikwe Game Reserve, guests are ensured of exclusive, high-quality wildlife experience.
Summer rainfall marks the Wet season from October to April while winter is the Dry season from May to September. High temperatures and thunderstorms are common in the summertime, with less humidity in Madikwe than in coastal areas of South Africa. Winters are sunny and temperate with cool nights. Especially during the game drives in the evenings and during the night, warm clothing is necessary for comfort
