Madikwe is one of South Africa’s biggest game reserves, but it’s also one of its youngest. Large tracts of abandoned farmland were incorporated into the reserve, which opened in 1991 after what remains the world’s largest translocation of wildlife. More than 8,000 animals were reintroduced into the reserve, which now covers 75,000 hectares. Madikwe is located in South Africa’s North West Province, just a stone’s throw from the Botswana border.
