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).
