| Madikwe
This premier 75,000 hectare game reserve situated in the North West Province of South Africa was originally established in 1991 to restore and return the land to its former natural environment.
A unique partnership between the state, local communities and private enterprise has transformed this land by way of the largest, phased game translocation operation ever undertaken worldwide; "Operation Phoenix" has been an astounding success .
