Madikwe & North West

 

The bushveld region between Johanesburg and Botswana's Kalahari offers a couple of excellent Game Reserves and the Las Vegas style Sun City, all within a 3-hour drive of Johanesburg.

Sun City opened its doors in 1979 as a getaway for wealthy white South Africans. In addition to the casinos, Sun City is also a good option for families as many activities are included in the entrance fee.

Many visitors combine a stay at Sun City with a visit to either the Pilansberg National Park or the Madikwe Game Reserve which both offer outstanding game viewing in malaria-free areas.

Madikwe Game Reserve

Madikwe is something of a hidden gem in terms of Game Reserves in South Africa. Wildlife is extremely abundant in Madikwe, which is the fourth largest Game Reserve in South Africa.

March to September is the optimum time for wildlife viewing in Madikwe.

Game Lodges in Madikwe are a very high standard and a stay here can be very much the equal or better than a visit to the Kruger National Park.

There are no self-drives allowed in Madikwe, but the Game vehicles can go off-road within the reserve.

Pilanesberg National Park

Pilanesberg occupies an ancient volcanic crater about 10 km to the north of Sun City. Pilanesberg is very accessible and offers excellent malaria-free game viewing.

Pilanesberg can be done as a self-drive and the park is teeming with wildlife including the Big 5, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dog, hippos, zebra and giraffe.

Pilanesberg can seem quite busy, especially at weekends and holidays and off-road driving is forbidden. It is possible to get off the main routes however on the smaller gravel roads through the park.
