Pilanesberg and Madikwe malaria-free safari in 5 days (4 nights)

5 days · South Africa

A road-based bush break from Johannesburg with no flights. A pickup in Johannesburg or Pretoria leads to Pilanesberg Game Reserve for the first two nights of guided game drives. On the third morning a road transfer moves on to Madikwe Game Reserve, in the same province near the Botswana border, for the last two nights. Two reserves in four nights give a change of setting without long travel days.
