| Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the few malaria-free reserves in
southern Africa. Located in South Africa along the Botswana border and
20 kilometres from Gaberone, the Reserve lies within a transition region
between lowveld bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result, the
region is host to an incredible diversity of species from both
ecosystems. Geographically the region has enormous volcanic intrusions
known as Inselbergs, which are prominent throughout the reserve and
create a spectacular backdrop. |

| Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is the first wholly-owned,
Community-based Safari Lodge to be developed in South Africa. The lodge
is an ecotourism partnership between North-West Parks, the Balete Ba
Lekgophung Community and the operator, The Madikwe Collection. The
community has a 45-year lease to operate a commercial lodge with
traversing rights across the reserve. The concept is unique in South
Africa as the community owns the development, with substantial benefits
accruing back to the community itself. |
