Climate

North West Province’s location, south of the Kalahari Desert, brings almost year-round sunshine. In summer (August to March) the region sizzles, with mercury rising anywhere from 22 to 34ºC – the short afternoon thunder showers are welcomed for refreshment. Winter days (May to July) are warm and sunny, but temperatures drop rather sharply at night. Average temperatures in winter hover around 16ºC, but can fluctuate between 2 and 20ºC in any one day.

Getting There

Please contact our Travel Consultants for flight details.

Safari

Spot not just the ‘Big 5’ but the ‘Super 7’ in Madikwe Game Reserve – elephant, Black and White rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. Many highly endangered species are now thriving in the area thanks to ‘Operation Phoenix’, a phenomenally successful game reintroduction programme, giving Madikwe the second biggest population of elephant after Kruger. Other regular sightings include hyenas, zebra, giraffe and different kinds of antelope. Game viewing options include exhilarating 4x4 drives, walking safaris, bush breakfasts and, of course, you can spot these gorgeous creatures from the comfort of your private verandah.

Safari
