OVERVIEW - MAFIKENG GAME RESERVE
Central Region Map

The 4,800 hectare Mafikeng Game Reserve is composed of Kalahari and Acacia bushveld with bountiful plains game viewing as its main attraction.

 
Mafikeng Game Reserve in the North West Province of South Africa


Area

The Reserve is situated on the eastern municipal boundary of Mafikeng and is home to about 2 000 head of game. Because of the relatively flat terrain these can be viewed exceptionally well. Numerous birds can also be viewed along the Molopo River. This reserve is the home of the Baden Powell Boy Scout Movement.

Wildlife

This 4 800 ha reserve, which can be described as Kalahari with acacia- dominated and sourish mixed bushveld, is a real game-viewing experience. The main attraction is game, particularly plains game, such as giraffe, small and large antelope, buffalo, rhino, zebra, warthog and ostrich.

Birdlife

Birdlife is prolific with many species of the waxbill and finch families.

Visitor Facilities and Accommodation

Accommodation is in a self catering guest house and bush camps within the Reserve.
