Recent Game Drive Highlights

A game drive is the most traditional experience on safari, usually undertaken in an open 4×4 vehicle allowing you the best views of the surrounding wildlife on the plains of Africa. Tuningi Safari Lodge offers daily drives included in our rates with big emphasis being placed on seeing the Big 5.

Zebra males have been spotted testing one other, establishing a hierarchy that would stand for the breeding season. Hyena sightings have also been plentiful of late.

We’ve seen jackals and big male lion – beautiful contrasting to the lush bushveld backdrop characteristic of the Green Season.

The buffalo have been cooling off in the plentiful mud wallows around Madikwe at this time of year.

Spots have also been on display.

We’ve also seen plenty babies being born.

We spotted a brown hyena snoozing in a rocky outcrop.

We spyed the cheetah brothers taking cover behind an anthill.

And some more big cats.

We were lucky enough to spend a sunset with one of Africa’s most endangered creatures.

And be dazzled by a herd of zebra going about their day.

Game Drives in Madikwe Game Reserve

Game drives are usually the main activity on a safari in Madikwe Game Reserve – sometimes complemented by walking safaris depending on which accommodation offering you choose. Game drives offer the chance to extensively explore a region and see the wildlife and birdlife of the area in the company of experienced guides and rangers. Tuningi Safari Lodge conducts drives twice daily, at dawn and at dusk to maximise your chance of seeing game.
