Safety

Madikwe Game Reserve is a safe place for visitors, in our opinion. South African parks and reserves maintain a very high standard regarding safety, and crime inside these areas is very unlikely. There is always some crime in cities, but as long as you take normal safety measures when visiting urban places on your tour, there is nothing to worry about (see ‘Cities & Urban Areas: Safety Precautions’ below). The vast majority of travelers in South Africa don’t have any incidents during their visit.

Malaria-free & Vaccinations

Travel to South Africa might require several vaccinations, which you should get before starting on your journey (consult your local travel clinic). There is no malaria in Madikwe, so antimalarial medication isn’t a requirement when visiting here. Malaria is only a concern if you visit Kruger National Park and surrounds.

Wildlife Viewing

The ‘Wildlife Viewing Safety Precautions’ below contain tips for viewing wild animals in the bush. In general, your guide will ensure your safety throughout your stay. Guides are experts and know how to view wildlife in the safest manner possible.
