Beyond the Vehicle
The bush changes when you walk through it. Tracks become stories. Plants become medicines. Sounds become species. A guided walk at Jamala Madikwe is a completely different encounter with the same reserve.
Guided Bush Walks
The reserve on foot.
Everything changes
Step out of the vehicle and into the wild with a guided bush walk. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the smaller wonders of the reserve, the tracks of animals, the healing properties of indigenous plants, and the songs of Birds. It’s an intimate and personal way to experience the landscape.
Bird Watching
With over 350 species of Birds, Madikwe is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Whether you’re spotting Eagles soaring above or tiny Sunbirds flitting through the bush, our experienced guides will help you identify and appreciate the diversity of avian life that calls this reserve home.
Photography Drives
Golden hour.
Unlimited time.
For photographers, Madikwe’s open plains are exceptional, long sightlines, calm wildlife, and two golden hours every day. Your ranger will position the vehicle for the best light and angle, and will wait with you at a sighting for as long as the subject demands.
For guests wanting a more specialised experience, a dedicated photographic guide can also be arranged at an additional cost.
Wildlife You Can Expect
Big Five, Wild Dog, Cheetah – what you’re likely to encounter.
