Madikwe Safari Lodge

Madikwe Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of the richly diverse and malaria-free 76 000-hectare (187 800-acre) Madikwe Game Reserve – one of South Africa’s biggest wildlife sanctuaries. Famed for Operation Phoenix, the world’s largest game translocation exercise with the introduction of more than 8 000 animals, Madikwe’s diverse geology and broad mix of habitats allows a wide range of African wildlife to flourish – including the Big Five, cheetah and a thriving population of wild dog.

Elephantoms

Whilst doing a mid day pick up we decided to go past one of the dams. To our surprise thee was a herd of elephants there, then another herd came and another and another, totalling 80+ animals. They were swimming, rolling in the mud even having a nap in the mud. They were having so much fun we almost wanted to go and join them, ofcourse that wouldn't be a good idea. An exciting time was had by all.
