20 reasons why you should visit the Madikwe Game Reserve

The Madikwe Game Reserve is South Africa’s fifth largest game reserve. It is a park that is not that well-known, however, it is home to all the Big Five species as well as the highly endangered African Wild dog.

If you’re planning a South African holiday, here are 20 reasons why you should visit the Madikwe Game Reserve.

This baby Lion saw his own reflection for the first time, he was growling and bearing teeth at himself! Very funny and super cute! #lion #bigfive #photosafari #madikwegamereserve #motswirilodge #wildlife #wildlifephotography #lioncub

Dagmar Roscher's new Blog Article: Sean found us a Leopard - twice in 3 days 2017 seems to be a great year. I have been at Rhulani Lodge in Madikwe for about 6 weeks, went on about 7 Game Drives (in 2016), which were all great, just did not include any Leopards – as these beautiful creatures are very elusive. Mid of January 2017 I went on Game Drives with Sean again – and he found us a Leopard – twice in 3 days!

Bush Gives. Bush Takes. Just got back from a week in Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.. very special place. If you've never been out in African bush, then add it to your list!
