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.
