Fly In Safaris to Madikwe
A fly-in safari to Madikwe Game Reserve could have you sipping a home-made lemonade by the waterhole within an hour of leaving Jo'burg. Many of the lodges have private airstrips and there is a commercial airport near Sun City, which is about an hour's drive from Madikwe. Flight options include daily commercial departures as well as scheduled and private charters.
If you have the wherewithal, we recommend fly-in safaris for convenience, comfort and a fulfilling safari lodge experience. Bypass the hustle and bustle of Jo'burg's highways and byways; dispense with the hassle of driving on the wrong side of the road and getting lost: let the experts worry about getting you there and back.
Chartered flights from Jo'burg to Madikwe take about 45 minutes and from touchdown your African safari will begin. Your personal ranger will collect you in a custom-made open-topped 4WD game-viewing vehicle. Transfers between Sun City and Madikwe and Pilanesberg Game Reserves are frequent, comfortable and mercifully short making for an excellent Sun City-Safari combination, which happens to be in an area free from malaria.
Where fly-in safaris offer convenience and comfort, the self-drive safari offers more flexibility and a barrel-load of things to see and do between lodges.
