Your Timeless Journey Awaits...

One of South Africa’s fastest-growing safari destinations.

Madikwe Game Reserve is located in the country’s North West province on the border of Botswana. A short 45 minute flight from Johannesburg and easily accessible by car, this lush reserve spans 75 000 hectares. Home to the big 5 and other endangered species in a Malaria-free environment, Madikwe is an ideal African wildlife safari destination for the whole family.

Its unique location, a transition zone on the edges of the Kalahari, provides distinctive game viewing and a habitat where rare species occur naturally. It is known as the only natural meeting place of the Springbok and the Kalahari Gemsbok in Africa. A rich biodiversity of mammals, including Africa’s Magnificent Seven (The Big Five plus cheetah and African wild dog) as well as brown and spotted hyena and oryx, are all found here.

With all the abundant game and over 350 colourful bird species living in this diverse geological environment, Madikwe offers visitors a spectacular, yet safe and convenient African travel experience they won’t soon forget.

"We’ve told all our friends that you have to use TAS when you go to Africa because they are organized, great communicators & have the best places to stay and best guides. We have told everyone that visiting South Africa should definitely be on their bucket list!"

"We spent 10-nights in South Africa and would have loved to extend the trip and continue exploring. Our two most favorite parts of the trip were hiking Table Top Mountain with our fabulous, very knowledgeable and polite guide Nick one early morning (5am pick up!) and our time on Safari. Seeing all of the animals in their habitat and being a part of their world was a memory we will never forget."

"We visited South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana. The accommodations were next level. There are no adequate words to describe the experience in the bush with the Big 5 and beyond. The people are the most gracious, appreciative, and kind I’ve ever encountered. If you want a worry free, experience of a lifetime you must use Timelines Africa. I can’t wait to go back!!"
