Best time to travel
The best time to visit Madikwe Game Reserve is during the dry season from May to September. During these months, the vegetation is less dense and animals often gather around waterholes, resulting in outstanding wildlife viewing. Temperatures are mild to cool, especially in the early morning and evening, which are ideal for game drives.
From November to April, there can be more rain, but the landscape becomes greener and lusher, and there is an abundance of newborn animals. Bird lovers can observe a wide variety of migratory species. The rains can also bring higher humidity.
