Not only does Madikwe Game Reserve in North West Province boast the favoured Big Five, but visitors may also be lucky enough to see hippo, giraffe, wild dog, hyena and cheetah. Add to the bountiful game inspirational lodges and you have a real treasure.
The reserve itself is something of a conservation miracle, as it was reclaimed from spent farmland in an economically desperate region. Restocking the reserve involved the largest relocation of wild animals ever undertaken, of which the wild dogs are the stars, while the spin-off from tourism is now the region's mainstay.
There are many aspects of the various lodges you could choose to elaborate on; people are taken by details like the brass sparrow taps and shaggy thatch roofs, but there are too many to list.
