Madikwe Self Drive Safaris

Madikwe Self Drive Safaris

A selection of self-drive safaris featuring one of South Africa's hidden gems, The "Big 5" and "Malaria Free" Madikwe Game Reserve. Just 3 hours drive from Johannesburg, the Madikwe is located in one of the more remote regions of South Africa bordering Botswana.

The Madikwe offers up safari lodges for all budgets and tastes (see below for our selection of safari lodges in the Reserve).

Family friendly and suitable for children going on safari or for those adults who are just not interested in taking anti-malaria medication, the Madikwe Game Reserve offers up wildlife and birdlife that second to none. In fact, it is true to say that this is our favourite game reserve, ask any one of our consultants and management team.

Our safari consultants are waiting to organise a Madikwe safari tailored to suit our ever desire.
