Madikwe Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of the richly diverse and malaria-free 76 000-hectare (187 800-acre) Madikwe Game Reserve – one of South Africa’s biggest wildlife sanctuaries.

Three exclusive camps – totaling just 16 suites in all – feature a simple yet sophisticated Madikwe style. The rooms are organic in design and woven copper screens add intriguing detail. Madikwe Safari Lodge is ideal for family safaris. Interiors are in earthy hues from amber and rust to rich buttery tones. Guest areas feature a series of intimate sitting areas and shaded outdoor seating on the expansive covered decks. There are plentiful fireplaces both inside and outdoors with pizza ovens for fun dining. A covered outdoor living room offers beanbags and cushions for casual bonhomie. The nearby boma is the setting for evocative starlit dinners. An African safari shop is situated conveniently between the camps. Dozens of lanterns cast a romantic light over these intimate and simply sophisticated areas. Living areas are designed to be cool in summer and warm in winter. Guests are offered a world-class interpretive experience of the bush on nature walks and morning, afternoon and night game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, as well as nature walks led by CC Africa-trained rangers and trackers

Each very spacious suite features a sitting area, a bedroom with circular fireplace, a spacious dressing area with personal bar, and a bathroom with twin hand basins, large bathtub, indoor and outdoor shower, and private w.c. French doors opening onto wooden decking lead to inviting plunge pools.
