Malaria Free South African Safari Holidays...  There are only a few malaria free destinations for South African safari holidays and the Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the greatest. Safari holidays in the Madikwe Game Reserve, the fourth largest reserve in South Africa at 76 000 hectares, are both exciting and safe. This South African safari holiday hotspot is situated in one of the most remote wilderness areas in the country consisting of vast plains of open grasslands dotted with rocky hills and bordered by the rugged Dwarsberg Mountains.

Madikwe Game Reserve... 

Opened in 1991, over 8000 head of game were brought into Madikwe Game Reserve in the largest game translocation project ever undertaken - Operation Phoenix. Predators were introduced in 1996 making Madikwe a Big Five South African safari holiday destination. Due to its wide range of habitats Madikwe is able to conserve all of the main African game species and has the second largest elephant concentration in South Africa.

The Madikwe Game Reserve is also home to the nearly extinct African wild dog, one of Africa's most formidable hunters, and the cheetah, the fastest mammal in the world with a top speed of over 100 kilometres per hour. It is easy to see why so many domestic and international tourists chose Madikwe Game Reserve for their South African safari holidays.

Safari Accommodation Offerings... 

The Madikwe Game Reserve is home to a host of luxury game lodge accommodation offerings and sublime safari activities such as fly-in safaris, gourmet meals, night drives and exquisite scenery. The lodges in the area are privately owned and managed and offer world class luxury in breathtaking surroundings, while also ensuring the sustainable and profitable growth of the Madikwe Game Reserve.

The accommodation and activities combined with the fact that it is one of the few malaria free safari destinations makes Madikwe Game Reserve a favourite amongst visitors embarking on South African safari holidays in the area.

A trip to the Madikwe Game Reserve can easily be added to a visit to the holiday resort of Sun City which is located a mere three hour drive from the reserve.
