Itinerary

Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa

Bordering Botswana in South Africa’s North West Province, Madikwe Game Reserve is the fifth-largest reserve in the country and is home to a great number of animal species. It contains a wild dog reserve, and is inhabited by the world-renowned Big Five, as well as Brown Hyenas, Cheetahs, and Aardwolf. Visitors will also be surrounded by over 300 bird species, including vulture, ostrich, and the large kori bustard. The landscape is characterised by vast grasslands, woodlands, and the rugged Tshwene Tshwene hills - creating enthralling scenes that often attract photographers and artists. Visitors can look forward to sunset drinks overlooking the Madikwe Dam. Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the only reserves in South Africa that is malaria free.

Madikwe Game Reserve South Africa

Indigo Safaris organised the perfect safari to Madikwe. Quick to respond and advise us on great options. They clearly know the area and the lodges very well.

Great knowledge

South Africa – Madikwe 4-night safari

We found Indigo Safaris after sending an enquiry through Safari Bookings. Lindie Janse Van Rensburg was our consultant. She made the whole process easy and was always prompt with replies to our questions. Absolute professional. Would highly recommend this tour company. Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time at Thakadu River Lodge in Madikwe game Reserve.

Helpful, easy to deal with

South Africa – 4-Day Madikwe Safari

Indigo Safaris was amazing in organising us the perfect safari and seamless transfer from Johannesburg to Madikwe. Lindie was always so quick to respond and advise us so I'd definitely recommend booking through Indigo Safaris. In terms of our Safari, the team at the lodge, accommodation, food and safari drives and guides were absolutely fantastic and the whole experience was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Amazing Safari experience and seamless organisation

South Africa: 19-day Cape Town, Garden Route & Madikwe Safari

This was my second trip through Indigo Safaris, after Papua New Guinea in August. It came about at the last minute as the coup in Madagascar cancelled a trip booked previously through another company. Christopher spring into action and put together a wonderful itinerary for a trip combining a self-drive along the Garden Route that was so much easier than I thought it would be, tours around Cape Town, and a safari to Madikwe before returning to the Cape.
The accommodations were excellent, and that was before we got an upgrade in Cape Town, the scenery so varied, and the wildlife stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing what can be put together for our next trip with more than one week's notice!

Absolutely fabulous

Timbavati Private Reserve, Greater Kruger, South Africa

Booking a safari isn't easy when you start with a google search. i sent out emails to five companies. Indigo's response time and follow up, alongside suggestions, were the best by far. They seemed committed to want to listen to what i wanted, not just what they had to offer. Despite booking nine months in advance, I really appreciated being given an email a month before the holiday to reconfirm everything. It's the thoughtful, small things like this that I felt set them apart. I would very much recommend them. The lodge they suggested was excellent, and exactly what we were looking for.

Excellent customer service. Great recommendation. Seamless execution.

South Africa – Kruger Private Reserve Safari

We stayed at the Honeyguide Mantobeni Camp in the Manyeleti Game Reserve which boarders without a fence to Kruger National Park. The location, camp and accommodations were superb. Michele, our Safari consultant did an outstanding job on understanding what we wanted. Her service and our Safari were perfect 10's!!
