    About Madikwe Game Reserve

    Bordering Botswana in South Africa's North West Province, Madikwe Game Reserve is the country's fifth-largest game reserve and one of its finest malaria-free safari destinations. Established through the groundbreaking Operation Phoenix conservation project, the reserve has been transformed into a thriving wildlife sanctuary that is home to the Big Five, endangered African wild dogs, cheetahs, more than 350 bird species, and an incredible diversity of plains game.

    With landscapes ranging from open savannah and acacia woodland to riverine forests and rocky outcrops, Madikwe offers exceptional year-round game viewing in a private, uncrowded setting. Its successful conservation model—managed through a partnership between government, local communities, and the private sector—has made the reserve one of Africa's leading examples of sustainable wildlife tourism and an outstanding destination for luxury safaris in South Africa.
