Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.
Madikwe Game Reserve is a protected area in South Africa and was named after the Madikwe or Marico River, on whose basin it is located. It comprises 750 km2 (290 sq mi) of bushland north of the small town of Groot-Marico up to the border with Botswana. It was opened in 1994.
Madikwe is home to the Big Five – lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos – as well as a variety of other wildlife such as cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs, and over 300 species of birds. The reserve is also malaria-free, making it a safe and family-friendly destination.
But Madikwe is more than just a wildlife sanctuary. It is also a conservation success story, as the reserve was established in 1991 by the South African government to restore the land after decades of farming. Today, Madikwe is one of the few game reserves in the world that is owned and managed by the local community, providing economic opportunities and sustainable development for the region.
