Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa: a spectacular safari experience

I travelled to South Africa and the incredible Madikwe Game Reserve in the North West Province of the country last year. It's a very old cliche and one I'm reluctant to use, but when people say that once you've 'touched the soil of Africa' you'll want to return (blah blah!), it's absolutely true.

Madikwe is very much lesser known than the world-famous Kruger - which means fewer tourists, and therefore far easier sightings of the game! You won't find twenty jeeps all clustered round a watering hole in Madikwe and you may well find that you don't even pass another game drive on your route.
