Madikwe Game Reserve, North West Province
4 hours from Johannesburg / Pretoria

How to get to the lodge
• Self drive (4 hours from Johannesburg / Pretoria).
• Flight transfer or private charter (50 minutes from O.R.Tambo International Airport).
• Road transfers.
• Complimentary road transfer from the Madikwe Hills airstrip to the lodge.

Option 1 – Johannesburg / Pretoria via Rustenburg (N4)
This route will take approximately 5 hours
• From Rustenburg (N4) follow signs to Zeerust.
• In Zeerust take a right turn at the ABSA bank in Main Street approximately in the middle of town, towards Gaborone / Madikwe. Refuel here as there is no fuel in the Madikwe Reserve.
• After approximately 85 kms you will see the “Abjaterskop” entrance into the Reserve.
• Once you enter the Reserve, there is about 32 km of dirt road to the lodge.
• Ask for a map with directions at the gate.

Option 2 – Johannesburg via Sun City to the Molatedi Gate
This route will take approximately 3,5 hours
The gravel road on this route makes it a little bumpy but not impassable in a sedan vehicle. This route is shorter than the route through Zeerust, but not our first recommendation, as it is partially gravel. It is advisable to fill up with fuel at the Sun City Village, just after the Sun City entrance on the right as there is no fuel available in the reserve.
• Follow the signs to Pretoria and N1 PIETERSBURG.
• After approximately 36 kms you will see big signs over the highway – you need to follow the direction N1 PIETERSBURG. Turn onto this highway, (you are now travelling in a northerly direction). Go for quite a while.
• You will see signs for a toll road called Bakwenya Platinum Highway N4 Rustenburg. Take this toll road.
• Once on the N4 continue in the direction of Rustenburg – take exit # 225 which is the R556 Sun City/Majakaneng.
• Turn right at the top of the off ramp to Sun City and continue straight to Sun City (approximately 73 kms to Sun City from this off ramp). After passing Sun City on the right, continue straight (approximately 5 km) until you reach a four-way junction.
• Turn right to DERDEPOORT.
• Follow the road for approximately 8.5 kms and turn left at the sign saying “BAPONG”.
• Continue straight along this road for approximately 34.8 kms (ignoring ALL signs saying “MADIKWE”) after passing through MABESKRAAL at the 4 way junction / stop turn right to DERDEPPORT onto the new tarred section of the road.
• After 26 kms the road will become gravel / dirt. The Dwarsberg Liquor Store will be on your left. Watch out for a “bump” as the tar ends.
• Continue straight along this road for about 32 km of gravel, (do not take the next Derdepoort turning to the right, continue straight), passing through the Molatedi Village over the Marico River and straight to the MOLATEDI GATE entrance into the Reserve.
