Madikwe Zebra Photo Gallery
Only one species of Zebra can be found in the Madikwe Game Reserve, and that is the stock standard every day "Plains zebra," or otherwise known as the "Burchell's zebra".
In general, Zebra are cannon fodder for lions, leopards and wild dogs and form a large part of their diet. Cheetahs can bring down smaller, younger zebras.
Sightings of these beautiful creatures are fairly common when on game drives; zebras like hanging out with their best mates; wildebeests, giraffes and impala. So spot a giraffe (same goes for wildebeest and impala), and the likelihood that a zebra is around the corner is rather good.
I am taking a guess here, but I would say that zebras are in the top 3 most photographed animals in Africa - but like I said, that is a guess and a guess because they are so cute.
Interesting fact; do you know why a zebra cannot/ is not ridden like a horse or donkey by humans? Quite simply, their spine bone is not as strong as a horse or donkey.
And now for the classic Zebra joke;
Question: What do Michael Jackson and Burchell's zebra have in common?
Answer: Neither can decide whether to be black or white!

Jamala Review
A review of one of our favourite lodges not only in the Madikwe Game Reserve but the whole of South Africa.
Why and how (well you will have to read for more thoughts and opinions), but in a nutshell - magnificent wildlife, great food, great rooms and most importantly fantastic service.
Mateya Review
One of those lodges that just blew us away. We knew that we were going somewhere special but just did not realise how extraordinary the experience would be.
Reflecting that old-world wildlife and birdlife experience - it is indeed more old school than new school regarding decor and feels.
