The entrance to Mafikeng Game Reserve is hidden, with insufficient and/or misleading signage. The game viewing entrance can be found through the main gate off Jacaranda Drive in the city of Mafikeng. Game viewing is bountiful as the reserve is saturated with Rhino, Giraffe, Gemsbok, Buffalo, Wildebeest, springbuck and other game. |
