In South Africa's Northwest province a beautiful reserve has been organized in the relative recent past called Madikwe. The 75,000 hectare area is massive and borders Botswana. We spent several days observing the dawn of spring here. The days were warm but the evenings were cool. We especially enjoyed the night game drives as so much in the bush comes out after dark.
