Wildlife Lodge
Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge, perched on a hill in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, offers an enchanting luxury safari across 75,000 hectares. Renowned for Big Five and rare wild dog sightings, it borders Botswana with captivating wilderness.
The ten secluded glass-fronted suites, each spanning 150 square metres, feature private decks with plunge pools, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, fireplaces, mosquito nets, fully stocked minibars, and romantic en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, offering uninterrupted savannah views. Little Madikwe, a family-friendly camp, includes a 390-square-metre two-bedroom suite, with two additional luxury suites available to form a private retreat for up to eight guests, complete with a private pool, verandah, dining room, kitchen, personal chef, butler, and dedicated game drive vehicle.
All-inclusive dining features full English and continental breakfasts and lunches on the main deck, with dinners served under starlit skies in the traditional boma or with fine silver service in the elegant dining room, paired with local wines. The lodge's wellness spa, inspired by African healing traditions, offers signature treatments using indigenous botanical ingredients, complemented by a fully equipped gym with treadmills, weights, and aerobic mats. A library, curio shop stocked with local crafts, and a terraced viewing deck overlooking a vibrant waterhole enhance the experience.
Twice-daily three-hour game drives in state-of-the-art vehicles, guided by expert rangers and trackers, deliver thrilling encounters with 86 mammal species, including cheetah, lion, and 420 bird varieties, alongside bush walks and wildlife photography. Located 265 km from Lanseria International Airport, Madikwe Hills blends unparalleled luxury with the majestic beauty of South Africa's diverse wilderness.
