Madikwe and Waterberg Safaris

The Madikwe Game Reserve is a 75 000 hectare reserve close to the border of Botswana and is home to all the ‘big five’ as well as being popular for its wild dog sightings, amongst a variety of other game and birdlife. The reserve has been rehabilitating since 1991 from what was once cattle farmlands and now offers a great wildlife experience.

The Waterberg region, incorporating the Welgevonden Game Reserve, is home to the ‘big five’ as well as a variety of other game including the rare and shy aardwolf. Bird life is also excellent. There is a lot of history in this area including artefacts of stone-age times.

Both destinations are easily included into a safari holiday of South African and can also be complimented with a few nights in either Sun City or extending to the Kruger area.
