Overview

Relaxation, luxury and nature combine in one place for your superior end-to-end exclusive safari experience.

One of the best conservation projects in Africa, Madikwe is the 5th largest and lesser-known game reserve, providing you with an intimate and personal experience of the heart of Africa.

Take an open-top, expert-led safari exploring grasslands, forests and rocky hills, to see a plethora of rare wildlife in their element, including the big 5 and endangered wild dogs.

Photograph ostrich sprinting from predators, vultures spying their next meal and Kori Bustards taking a rare flight across the panoramic skies.

Retire back to your opulent eco lodge for a dip in your private infinity pool, enjoying fine drinks on your veranda whilst watching wildlife visit a nearby watering-hole.

The whole trip was mind-blowing. Madikwe gave me the once-in-a-lifetime closeup with lions and different kinds of animals that I’ve always dreamed of seeing. Our accommodation was incredible and made us feel at one with the natural landscape. Amy Beckham-Hart
