Experience Untamed Wilderness and Luxury with Africa Moja Tours & Safaris
Tucked away in South Africa’s far north-west corner near the Botswana border, Madikwe Game Reserve remains one of the country’s most exclusive and rewarding safari destinations.
With its malaria-free environment, exceptional wildlife viewing, and luxurious lodges, Madikwe Safaris are ideal for families, honeymooners, and first-time safari guests seeking an authentic yet comfortable African bush experience.
Covering over 75,000 hectares, Madikwe is South Africa’s fifth-largest game reserve and one of its most diverse. It is home to more than 66 species of mammals — including Africa’s legendary Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) — along with the highly endangered African wild dog, one of Madikwe’s signature sightings.
Unlike some of the busier parks, Madikwe Game Reserve offers an exclusive safari experience. Because it’s managed as a private conservation area, only guests staying at one of the reserve’s lodges are allowed inside. This means fewer vehicles, more intimate sightings, and a quieter, more personal connection with nature.
Madikwe’s malaria-free status makes it especially attractive for family safaris and travelers who want to avoid medication while still enjoying world-class game viewing. Its diverse landscapes — from savanna grasslands to rocky hills and riverine forests — support a remarkable range of wildlife and birdlife, creating exceptional photographic opportunities.
With Africa Moja Tours & Safaris, guests can choose to fly directly from Johannesburg or drive the scenic 4½-hour route through North West Province, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive surrounded by pristine wilderness.
Madikwe delivers some of South Africa’s finest game viewing. The reserve’s Big Five populations are thriving, and the chances of seeing all five within a few days are excellent.
Highlights include:
Over 350 species of birds make Madikwe a paradise for birdwatchers — from lilac-breasted rollers to martial eagles and colorful bee-eaters.
Game drives are conducted in open 4×4 vehicles led by expert rangers and trackers who know the reserve intimately. Morning drives offer cool light and predator activity, while afternoon and sunset safaris reveal nocturnal animals under the stars.
Madikwe offers a wide range of accommodation options, from family-friendly lodges to ultra-luxurious private retreats. Africa Moja Tours works with the best lodges across the reserve to suit every traveler’s needs and budget.
Each lodge provides daily game drives, guided bush walks, fine dining, and luxury amenities like swimming pools, viewing decks, and spa treatments. Many lodges are family-run, ensuring personal service and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Madikwe Game Reserve is easily accessible from Johannesburg or Pretoria. Guests can choose between:
Our packages include comfortable transfers, meals, park fees, and all safari activities — so your adventure begins the moment you’re picked up.
Madikwe is a year-round destination, but the dry winter months (May–October) offer the best wildlife viewing as animals gather around waterholes.
The summer months (November–April) bring lush green vegetation, newborn animals, and spectacular birdlife — a paradise for photographers.
Thanks to its moderate climate and malaria-free status, it’s perfect for families with children at any time of year.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a photographic safari, or a family adventure, Africa Moja Tours & Safaris makes your Madikwe experience unforgettable — blending comfort, conservation, and authentic encounters with Africa’s wildlife.
