The fourth largest game reserve in South Africa, Madikwe has over 75,000 hectares of spectacular big game country close to the Botswana border. The area has enjoyed a real renaissance in recent years.  Madikwe is famed for Operation Phoenix, the world’s largest game translocation exercise, with the successful reintroduction of more than 8,000 animals of 28 species, including lion, elephant, buffalo, and black and white rhino. The Reserve is home to the Super Seven – adding cheetah and the endangered African wild dog to the already famous Big Five. Madikwe is great for families and those seeking an accessible, malaria-free wilderness experience.

The Waterberg straddles an area of some 15000 sq kilometres in the Limpopo Province, and is unmatched in its beauty – from soaring ancient mountain on the southern escarpment, to the Seven Sisters guarding the northern grasslands, and the spectacular rock buttresses to the east. The Waterberg has all the big five as well as many more rare species cruising on its rolling savannahs. There is also thousands year old bushman rock art and nearby Makapans Valley points is regarded as one of the country’s most significant archaeological and palaeontological sites, as it has yielded hominid fossils dating back 3m years.
