Accommodation near Madikwe Game Reserve
With its rich diversity and hilly topography, it’s no wonder that Madikwe Game Reserve has been dubbed as one of South Africa’s prime destination safaris. This 66 000-hectare park, situated in the far reaches of the North West province, is renowned for its diverse wildlife, sprawling terrain of rocky woodlands and majestic views of the Dwarsberg Mountain range.
What makes the reserve distinct from other South African reserves is the way it came into being – it was procured for no reason other than being a sustainable use of the land to uplift the community. Situated in an area with a depressed economy, a feasibility study was conducted which showed that wildlife-based tourism would promote the area and result in job creation. Thus, in 1991, a reintroduction programme named ‘Operation Phoenix’ saw the occurrence of the largest game translocation exercise ever to be seen within the borders of South Africa. The procurement was ultimately a success and resulted in similar ventures rolling out in other remote areas of South Africa.
The reserve is now home to 66 large mammalians and a recorded 500 species of migrant birds. It is also the only region in South Africa where you’ll be able to spot rare and endangered species of game together, such as sprinkbok and the Kalahari gemsbok along with the brown hyena and the aardwolf.
Guests to the reserves have the opportunity to spot game on day or night drives. For the brave, guided walks are available to individuals looking to get up up-close-and-personal with the wildlife. Holiday makers should be advised that day trips to the park are not within the park’s jurisdiction and only overnight visitors will be granted entry.
