In the thick wilderness of the safari in Africa, lies an unexpected treasure of beauty that is truly a masterpiece of nature. The Madikwe Game Reserve is a conservation area located in South Africa’s North West Province. It is the fifth largest game reserve and is also one of the lesser known parks in South Africa. In 1991 the area was declared as a reserve and 10,000 mammals were relocated from other National Parks which brings a lot of wildlife such as elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and much more. Furthermore, it is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa. In addition, the park also offers a lot of exquisite lodges that are malaria-free and one of them is the Madikwe Safari Lodge.
Madikwe Safari Lodge is a collection of luxurious camps with extravagant and exquisite suites in each camp. It is situated on the eastern side of the gorgeous Madikwe Game Reserve. The Madikwe Safari Lodge boasts its three breathtaking camps that are so close to each other it will surely leave you in awe.
