Malaria-free Big Five with a children's programme, just a short hop from Johannesburg.
Madikwe is the easy answer for young families: no malaria, a short journey from Johannesburg and lodges that genuinely love having children around.
While the adults enjoy their drives, children can join WILDchild activities, from tracking footprints to making plaster casts of paw prints.
