A malaria-free Big Five reserve on the Botswana border, known for family-friendly luxury lodges and wild dog sightings.

Madikwe Game Reserve lies along the Botswana border in a malaria-free corner of South Africa's North West Province, making it a favourite for families seeking a safe, luxurious Big Five safari. Reintroduction programmes have restored thriving populations of lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and the rare African wild dog to this remote wilderness. A select handful of intimate, high-end lodges ensure low vehicle density and exceptional guiding across the reserve's open plains and mopane woodland.
