Rhino Africa's MD, David Ryan and videographer Ryan Rapaport recently embarked on an adventure to Madikwe Game Reserve. They stayed at several lodges and enjoyed the abundant natural beauty the reserve has on offer for people on safari.
They were lucky enough to stay at a few of the spectacular lodges, such as Madikwe Safari Lodge, Jamala Madikwe, Madikwe Hills and Etali Safari Lodge. After all this exciting safari to Madikwe, all they brought us were these lousy photos... pfff. Well, these photos will have do until we get to go along too. We can only say this game reserve is truly magical.
Take a look for yourself:
Their rangers are knowledgeable about all the bush drama and animals - a great source of information to get to know Africa's wildlife better.
With an impressive expanse of 75,000ha of wilderness, Madikwe Game Reserve lies in the extreme northwest corner of South Africa's North West province, against the Botswana border, 90 km north of Zeerust. Just three hours' drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, it has become one of South Africa's prime safari destinations. It is also home to the Big Five and the endangered rhino and wild dog.
