Madikwe Bird List

Madikwe Bird List

For those interested in birding, Madikwe offers up a real treat in this department; 360 individual species have been recorded here from the large old Ostrich to incy wincy Finches and every conceivable size in between. Is the birdlife good in Madikwe? Oh yes! (and that is from "James" who loves his birds).

Birds species here differ quite a bit from other areas of South Africa as the Madikwe Game Reserve sits on the edge of the Kalahari basin and birdlife is more consistent with what one would find in the more arid areas of Southern Africa.

For those with keen interests in ornithology, we can tailor-make a safari with a private guide who specialises in this area.
