Madikwe Safari Lodge views
Madikwe Safari Lodge, owned by one of southern Africa’s most respected safari companies, CC Africa, is situated within the vast Madikwe Reserve which is especially well known for the translocation projects of wild dog.
This malaria free reserve consists of seventy five thousand hectares, vast plains, open woodlands and grassland dissected by the rugged Rant Van Tweedepoort and bordered in the south by the Dwarfsberg Mountains. Dotted with huge rocky hills, this reserve is home to the “big five” as well as cheetah, wild dog, spotted hyena, brown hyena, giraffe, zebra, springbok, many other species of antelope and herbivores. The endangered wild dog alone is seen by an estimated 50% of visitors and is cause for great excitement. The rhino population consists of both the white and the rare black rhino. In addition the elephant population on this reserve is the second largest in South Africa.
Madikwe Safari Lodge is a luxurious five star property which offers guests intimate accommodation which enjoys sweeping views over the game field plains. Each of the sixteen very spacious suites features a sitting area, a bedroom with circular fireplace, a spacious dressing area with personal bar and a bathroom with twin hand basins, large bath tub, indoor and outdoor shower and private w.c. Beautiful French doors open onto wooden decking which leads to an inviting plunge pool where you can cool off in the heat of the day.
Safari activities are focused on game drives in open topped 4X4 safari vehicles, both during the day and at night time when a spotlight is used, and you are accompanied by highly skilled and professional guides. Madikwe Safari Lodge is also ideal for a family safari, and the guides are particularly adept at communicating with children.
