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.
Scales
Up until recently there has only been one major animal left for me to see in Madikwe and two nights ago my time had come. There it lay the ever-elusive pangolin curled up next to the road. For three hours we stayed and watched this animal come to life as the sun set in the background. A dream comes true.
