Places to Stay in South Africa, North West, Madikwe Game Reserve

Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the few malaria-free reserves in southern Africa. Located in South Africa along the Botswana border and 20 kilometres from Gaberone, the Reserve lies within a transition region between lowveld bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result, the region is host to an incredible diversity of species from both ecosystems.

Traversing over 75,000 hectares of true, untamed Africa and set in magnificent koppies amongst boulders, MADIKWE HILLS gently ebbs to the pulse of Africa's drumbeat. The luxurious suites are ingeniously placed amongst the boulders. The unusual, yet subtle decor integrates natural elements with colours highlighting Africa's ambience.
