Set on a gentle slope nestled between 2 rolling hills, Madikwe Safari Lodge comprises of 3 separate, intimate camps - West, North and East. Professional and skilled rangers deliver a world-class interpretive experience of the bush on morning and afternoon game-drives in open safari vehicles.

Overlooking Madikwe's game-filled plains, the main guest areas in each camp feature cosy sitting and dining areas, as well as expansive viewing decks.

In the evenings, dzens of lanterns cast a romantic light over these intimate and simply sophisticated areas.

The nearby boma is the setting for evocative starlit dinners, with delicious and unique regional cuisine, simply prepared with an African flavour.

There are 17 chalets, split between the North and East camps. Each chalet features a sitting area, a bedroom with circular fireplace, a spacious dressing area with personal bar, and an en-suite bathroom. French doors opening onto wooden decking lead to inviting private plunge pools.

The very private West Camp, which consists of just 4 suites, can be booked on an exclusive basis, which is ideal for friends or families travelling together.
