ABOUT

Madikwe Game Reserve located in the North West Province, a mere 4-hour drive or 1-hour light aircraft flight from Johannesburg, is a 75 000-hectare partnership by tourism stakeholders North West Parks and Tourism Board, local communities and private sector. Madikwe, South Africa’s premier malaria-free Big Five safari destination, is known for its endangered African predators, diverse birdlife and landscapes.

‘Operation Phoenix’ 1992 saw entire breeding herds of elephant, Cape buffalo, black and white rhino, along with various antelope and predator species including lion, cheetah, spotted hyena and critically endangered African wild dog relocated to Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa. Madikwe is home to the ‘Magnificent Seven’ namely the Big Five, cheetah, African wild dog, 350 bird species and staggering biodiversity.

Tucked beneath the leafy canopy of an ancient Morukuru (Tamboti) tree, on the banks of the fabled Marico River is Morukuru Owner’s House in the Madikwe Game Reserve.
