Game Drives

Morning and afternoon safari game drives on open safari vehicles offer the best way to explore and experience Madikwe Game Reserve. Set out in search of Africa’s Big Five, as well an assortment of other weird and wonderful creatures, including cheetah, brown & spotted hyena and the endangered African wild dog. With over 300 different species of birds, Madikwe Game Reserve is also a birders paradise. Morning coffee stops and evening drinks stops during your safari offer the perfect setting to chat about the day’s excitement while enjoying a delicious bush coffee or a perfectly prepared gin & tonic.

Experiences

Walking Safaris

Accompanied by an expert walking-trails guide from Jaci’s Lodges, you have the opportunity to experience the small and often overlooked aspects of the reserve that are usually missed on a typical game vehicle. Walking safaris are subject to the availability of our qualified, on-site trail guide at an additional cost. The duration of walks may vary due to number of guests, weather conditions and game drive schedules.

There is a minimum age limit of 16 years and above for the walking safari experience. Guests over the age of 65 years old require a doctor’s letter declaring them medically fit for a walking safari.
