DESCRIPTION
On this music and cultural safari we will head to pristine Madikwe Game Reserve in the North-West province of South Africa . Madikwe is one of the largest game reserves in South Africa, covering some 80,000 hectares (197 000 acres). It is one of South Africa’s prime safari destinations as the rich diversity of vegetation ensures a wide range of game viewing opportunities for visitors. Due to the reserve’s location situated on the border with Botswana close to the Kalahari Desert and it’s wide open planes it allows for unparallel wildlife viewing opportunities. Madikwe is home to 66 mammal species including Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard and the elusive and endangered Wild dog, as well as over 300 bird species.
For our Sierra Hull & Justin Moses Mandolin Safari we will head to the private Madikwe Game Reserve where we will spend six nights at the tranquil Tau Game Lodge in handpicked luxury accommodations which overlooks an active watering for our music and nature immersion experience.
