A Living Testament to Preservation

Madikwe Game Reserve stands as a powerful testament to the dedicated preservation of a unique wilderness in one of South Africa’s more remote corners. Situated in the transitional zone between the lush bushveld of Southern Africa and the arid Kalahari thornveld, Madikwe is a sanctuary teeming with wildlife.

Operation Phoenix: The Birth of a Sanctuary

In the early days, this land was not the wildlife haven it is today. Operation Phoenix changed that. This monumental initiative was one of the largest wildlife relocations ever undertaken on Earth. Over a span of seven years, more than 8,000 animals were carefully transported to Madikwe, transforming it into an economically viable wildlife sanctuary.

The Super 7: A Wildlife Marvel

While the Big 5—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—are the stars of many African reserves, Madikwe goes a step further. Here, the Big 5 extend to the ‘Super 7,’ which includes the elusive African wild dog and the swift cheetah. Additionally, birdwatchers will find a paradise here, with more than 250 species of birds recorded.

    For our first safari in Africa we decided to go to Sabi Sands private game reserve which was incredible. The whole process went seamlessly thanks to our amazing agent Valencia Sifo.

    It was our 50th wedding anniversary & we took our whole family, our children, their spouses & our grandchildren, 20 strong, on safari at Umkumbe Bush Lodge, Sabi Sands & then for 5 days in the Western Cape. In the Cape we stayed at Lyonesse House in Constantia, a fabulous property for a big group. It was all arranged by Denise of East Cape Tours. Everything went very smoothly & everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks Denise !

    Stephanie has been the best agent I have worked with in Southern Africa. I bring groups from USA to South Africa and Zimbabwe and she has helped me tremendously.

    Cearl Marney was an incredible agent, going above and beyond to arrange our stay at Amakhala Game Reserve. Not only were the arrangements flawless but Cearl also organised a nurse to come to our apartment to conduct PCR tests for the flight home. We would certainly recommend East Cape Tours (and Cearl in particular!) for any holiday bookings! We will be using them again next year Easter for sure!
