Madikwe Game Reserve: Still in its beginning stages as a park, the Madikwe Game Reserve is about 70 000 hectares of bushland just north of the little town of Groot Marico that stretches all the way up to the Botswana border, about 3 hours’ drive from Johannesburg. Young it might be - having opened its gates, so to speak, only in August 1991 - but not only is it is one of South Africa’s largest and most popular game reserves, it’s also one of the only ones in the world proclaimed a reserve purely on the grounds of its being the most appropriate and sustainable land use for this formerly depressed area.

What used to be farm land is now restored to its former natural environment and over 8 000 animals and 27 species were moved to Madikwe as part of a huge translocation of game known as Operation Phoenix. More about » Madikwe Game Reserve.

Predominantly grasslands and bushveld, intermingled with lone mountains and rocky outcrops, with water a scarcity as it is throughout Africa, the reserve serves as home for cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, lion, elephant - their resettlement a success story on its own - black and white rhino, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and any number of antelope.

Madikwe is run as a joint venture between the state, private sector and local communities who live on the borders of the reserve and who benefit too, earning an annual share of the park’s profits, so that they in turn can upgrade their own infrastructure.

There are day and night game drives, bush walks and over 350 species of bird, including a number of interesting raptors. Lodges within the reserve are privately run and offer fantastic opportunities to experience this unique location on the edges of the Kalahari..
