The North West Province of South Africa is a rewarding holiday destination that offers not only a rich cultural and historical heritage, but also numerous wildlife and adventure encounters. The malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve is located along the Botswana border, only four hours’ drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, and is now one of South Africa’s prime safari destinations.

In addition to the Big 5, the area is also home to wild dog, spotted hyena, cheetah and a wealth of antelope, smaller mammals and birdlife. Madikwe offers a range of luxury accommodation, from five-star opulence to roughing it in style. There are also a number of community lodges in the reserve.
