The Best Place to see Africa’s Super Seven

Home to all members of the Super Seven, Madikwe Game Reserve is a fantastic destination for a safari to see South Africa’s Super Seven.

The reserve has a healthy elephant population, seen on almost every drive. Lions are often spotted on night drives, but are also found lazing around in the shade of a tree during the day. Rhino and buffalo are also commonly seen and leopard are the most elusive of the Super Seven to find.

The famous Madikwe wild dogs (also known as painted wolves) are one of the most endangered animals in Africa and a delight to see on safari at Madikwe Hills. Cheetah are also present in Madikwe and we hope you have the good fortune to spot them during your time on safari.

Madikwe Game Reserve, known for being the abode of the Super Seven, offers an exceptional safari experience for those seeking an encounter with South Africa’s most sought-after wildlife.

Within the reserve, an abundance of elephants can be seen on almost every drive, while lions can be observed both during nocturnal excursions and leisurely basking beneath the shelter of shady trees. The elusive leopard, considered the most challenging to spot among the Super Seven, occasionally reveals itself to fortunate visitors.

Additionally, Madikwe boasts the presence of the renowned wild dogs, a highly endangered species also known as painted wolves, whose appearance on safari is a true delight. With cheetahs also inhabiting the reserve, we hope you will have the incredible opportunity to witness their grace during your safari experience.

To make the most of your visit, we recommend planning your trip between May and October, coinciding with the cool and dry season when wildlife sightings are at their prime.
