Madikwe Safari Lodge,
Limpopo Province, South Africa
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. Famed for Operation Phoenix, the world's largest game translocation exercise with the introduction of more than 8 000 animals, Madikwe's diverse geology and broad mix of habitats allows a wide range of African wildlife to flourish - including the Big Five, cheetah and a thriving population of wild dog.
Set on a gentle slope nestled between two rolling hills, Madikwe Safari Lodge overlooks game-filled plains with the Dwarsberg Hills in the distance and the Marico River nearby.  
The region is also imbued in history and has seen the pass age of Mzilikazi and a range of explorers, traders, hunters and missionaries, including Dr David Livingstone, Sir Cornwallis Harris and the famous South African author, Herman Charles Bosman. In line with Conservation Corporation Africa's  vision, Madikwe Game Reserve is run as a joint venture between the North West Parks Board, the private sector and the local communities.


East Camp (7 suites), West Camp (4 suites) and North Camp (5 suites) - have a simple yet sophisticated Madikwe style. Interiors are in earthy hues from rust to rich buttery tones.
Each suite features a sitting area, a bedroom with circular fireplace, a spacious dressing area with personal bar, en suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower and wooden decking leading to a shaded plunge pool.

Guest areas for all camps 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 a pizza oven for fun dining. Pleasant, book-filled libraries and interpretive centres with Internet access offer more guest delight. A covered outdoor living room offers swinging chairs and beanbags and cushions on the floor for casual bonhomie. The nearby boma is the setting for evocative starlit dinners. An African crafts gallery is situated conveniently between the camps. West Camp is ideal for parents travelling with young children.
