Madikwe Safaris in South Africa

Madikwe's landscape of flat plains, rocky hills & acacaia trees make a perfect home for the full range of classic African animals.

Whether you fly into Madikwe, drive yourself or catch a transfer, you'll always be assured of a friendly welcome.

Set at the edge of the Kalahari, Madikwe is a thirstland in the dry winter season & game viewing is excellent.

Home to Africa's Big 5, Madikwe's red Kalahari sands lend a rosy glow to its elephants.

All the big cats are present in Madikwe but it's lions that are most common here.

Madikwe's leopards are usually seen in dense, tangled vegetation next to rivers or on hillsides.

Come summer, migrant birds like this carmine bee-eater turn Madikwe into a superb bird watching destination.

There are several elephant breeding herds in Madikwe, usually seen at a favourite waterhole or dust-bathing site.
