Madikwe Game Reserve
The malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve was proclaimed in August 1991 and is currently
one of South Africa's largest game reserves and best-kept secrets. The reserve consists
of vast plains of open woodlands and grasslands, dissected and bordered by rugged
mountain ranges and rocky hills. The re-stocking of Madikwe with animals indigenous
to the area began in mid-1991. Since then, more than 8,000 animals of 28 species
have been introduced in the largest game translocation exercise in the world at
that time. Animals introduced to date include the 'Big Five' plus cheetah, wild
dog, spotted hyena, giraffe, zebra and other herbivores.
