Madikwe Game Reserve is South Africa's second largest game reserve and Royal Madikwe is situated on 1,800 hectares of private ground within the reserve. Established in 1991, Madikwe was the site of operation Phoenix - the largest translocation of game ever undertaken - with over 10,000 animals reintroduced into the reserve. Madikwe Game Reserve is more than just an incredible malaria-free safari destination, it is an internationally significant conservation initiative.

The species that populate Madikwe include lion, leopard, black rhino and white rhino as well as large herds of elephant and buffalo. The rare African wild dog, cheetah, spotted and brown hyena, giraffe, zebra and numerous antelope species also roam the reserve. Over 340 bird species also make their home in Madikwe which sprawls across richly varied eco-zones, from rocky peaks, across open grasslands, to verdant valleys, each zone with its own distinctive inhabitants

Each day at the Royal Madikwe is designed entirely by the guest with the guidance of an experienced ranger's wealth of knowledge. A dawn & dusk game drive in an open vehicle, especially designed for optimum comfort and game viewing, is recommended daily to experience the unforgettable sights of the African bush.

In addition to game drives, Bush Walks provide the opportunity to get closer to the surroundings, appreciating the quietness of the bush and the excitement of following game paths, in the footsteps of the animals. Bush Walks also allow guests to gain interesting knowledge of the smaller creatures and plant life within the reserve.

Depending on the guest  interests Royal Madikwe can also offer the following activities which should be arranged prior to arrival:

• The Archeological Safari
• The Celestial Safari
