Madikwe Game Reserve safaris

The focus of Madikwe safari holidays is very much centred around the reserve’s exceptional wildlife viewing.

You’ll have the chance to find lion, leopard, elephant and rhino rubbing shoulders with healthy populations of wild dog as well as desert specialists such as aardvark, porcupine, and the critically endangered pangolin.

For adults and older children, early morning and late afternoon game drives bookend specially tailored activities for younger children which will introduce your budding rangers to the wilderness in a secure, engaging and interactive environment. They will identify spoor and scat (tracks and droppings to you and me) alongside treasure hunts, baking and maybe even a movie night under a blanket of African stars.

Some lodges offer shortened game drives, known as ‘bumbles’, for younger guests to ignite that spark of curiosity in the natural world and hopefully induct a new generation of conservationists. Some lodges even encourage guests to get directly involved with Madikwe’s notable conservation efforts.

Madikwe safari holidays are for everyone, from first time visitors to Africa to seasoned safari goers.

However, the appeal to families is undeniable being malaria-free and offering luxurious, family focussed lodges.

For this reason, Madikwe is amongst our top recommendations for a kids safari.
