The Madikwe Guest Conservation Levy comes into effect on for all guests traveling to Madikwe Game Reserve on 01 August 2017.
Sadly the rhino poaching threat in Madikwe has increased over the last 6 months to a point where the lodges in the reserve have agreed to raise a levy on all visitors to the park. The main use of the levy will be to boost the efforts of the Northwest Parks Board in their efforts to fight the poachers and to protect the park. The remaining proceeds of the levy will also be used to bolster the ability of Northwest Parks to manage the ecology of the park in a proactive and sustainable manor.
Poaching is a serious threat to both the rhinos but also to jobs in the region. Visitors to the park, via the payment of this levy will be contributing significantly to the sustainability both of the flora and fauna and the community.
