Travelling by road from Johannesburg to Madikwe
Travelling time approximately 3.5hrs
· From Johannesburg head north on the N1 towards the N4 Toll Road
· Take the N4 Toll road north west towards Rustenburg, Swartruggens, Groot Marico and Zeerust
· Once in Zeerust turn right at the third stop street into President Street. There is a signpost on the left that says “ Madikwe Game Reserve/Gaborone” and a First National Bank on the corner to the left
· Follow the R49/47 towards the reserve for approximately 95km
· The first entrance to the reserve is Abjaterskop gate
· Pass that gate and enter at the next gate – Wonderboom Gate exactly 7km from the first gate
Travelling tips:
· Watch to the speed limit, especially when it drops down from 120kms to 80kms. The traffic officials are often at these spots including the small villages where the speed limit is 60kms.
· Best bathroom facilities enroute are at the Wimpy in Koster or the Wimpy in Zeerust.
· If you drive an unleaded vehicle, fill up in Zeerust as you will have another 200kms before you return that way and the petrol stations between Zeerust and Madikwe are often out of unleaded fuel.
Charter Flights and Scheduled Flights
There is a scheduled Federal Air flight that flies in and out of the Reserve daily. Should you wish to charter a plane to suit your own time frame this can be arranged through Madikwe Charters.
Road Transfers
Transfers can be arranged from within South Africa and from Botswana.
