Madikwe Safaris

When planning a safari to South Africa, we often find that the Madikwe Game Reserve is more often than not even on the list of "to visit" destinations. This is something that we would like to change, we have a catchphrase here at Uyaphi.com, and it is "Madikwe is awesome."

With 750km² of "Big 5" reserve to explore, the Madikwe rewards with diverse landscapes, thrilling safari experiences and some of the most excellent lodges.

The Madikwe is one of the best "Big 5" destinations for those travelling with families and young children. Most of the lodges cater for families, with meal menu's, activities and game drives suitable for all ages. Plus the reserve is "Malaria Free."

The Madikwe Game Reserve is not just for families (adults are not keen on Malaria either), we do offer numerous intimate, private and luxurious options in which romance can blossom.
