  • North-West Province
    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.

Armecin Johannah Motswatswe Surika Rabe Vamsidhar Reddy TS Kamal Vatta Bayan Yesperova This report is the product of team work with equal contribution from the authors whose names are listed in alphabetical order International Centre for development North West Department of oriented Research in Agriculture Agriculture, Conservation and (ICRA) Environment (NWDACE), Eastern PO Box 88, 6700 AB Wageningen Region, Private Bag X82070 The Netherlands Steen Street 37, Rustenburg South Africa ABSTRACT The Mankwe and Madikwe Districts have serious problems regarding the conservation of natural resources. These areas are characterised by severe infrastructural deficiencies such as lack of irrigation equipment, roads, drinking, handling facilities for livestock, and fencing. Communal practices in time resulted in the reduction of genetic diversity of fauna and flora, which in turn created pressure on resources. The area is progressively drier from east to west with an annual rainfall of less than 600mm per annum. The study followed the Agriculture Research for Development (ARD) procedure developed by ICRA to achieve the objectives set for the field study. The village households were classified into six different household types on the basis of their sources of income and the nature of agricultural enterprises. Primary data were collected from 50 households spread over different household types.
