Medike Mountain Reserve
Makhado Limpopo - South Africa
Email Medike Mountain Reserve Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com
Medike is situated in the Limpopo Province about 36 km west of
Louis Trichardt (Makhado). The best way to savour Medike’s rich ecological diversity, is on foot. More than 30 km of marked hiking trails meander through forested kloofs, rugged gorges, waterfalls, archaeological sites and mountain streams to waterfalls, rock formations and a mysterious Bushman shelter with ancient rock art. The diversity of natural habitats found on Medike affords a large
variety of fauna and flora. |

Medike is also home to several of the rarest African mammals like the
leopard, anteater, brown hyena and pangolin. Klipspringer, bushbuck, Sharpe’s
grysbok, warthogs, baboons, vervet monkeys, bush babies and hyraxes are
frequently seen.
Medike is also known for its butterflies. The most common reptiles are
the endemic Soutpansberg lizard, black mamba and python.
More than 250 tree species including Real Yellowwood, Baobab and the rare
Pepperbark provide a haven for keen botanists.
