About Madikwe River Lodge

If you are heading between Johannesburg and Gaborone, Madikwe River Lodge is just the place to hang up the car keys. Situated in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve near the Botswanan border, you would never guess that not so long ago, this region was little more than abandoned farmland.

With the Groot Marico River on your doorstep, Madikwe River Lodge offers a front-row seat to all the animal action.

Facilities

With fireside boma dinners, bush breakfasts and an attentive team, there is enough to keep everyone happy. When you are ready to wash off the safari dust, make a splash in our outdoor pool.

Dining

No need to cook when you are feeling hungry (or even slightly peckish). Our head chef and his team are on standby to whip up something tasty. Breakfast is served in the dining room, lunch on the viewing deck, with dinner in the outside boma. We have also got several options to satisfy the kids, with bush breakfast experiences available on request.

Activities

A conservation triumph, the surrounding wilderness is brimming with game, including African wild dogs and cheetah, which along with the Big Five, form the 'Madikwe Super Seven'. We offer twice-daily game drives, guided bush walks, and more than enough quiet nooks to kick back and soak up the scenery.

We also offer dedicated bush walks at Madikwe River Lodge, led by our highly skilled and armed tracker guides. If you are a keen birder (and even if you are not), you are guaranteed to delight in the myriad of local choristers flittering through the Madikwe region.

Verified reviewexcellent

This was my first African experience and I can't express how much I enjoyed it.It was the trip of a lifetime for me and my stay at Madikwe River Lodge was the ultimate introduction to the African bush. The accomodation was more than adequate, the staff exceptionally courteous and entertaining. Nothing was too much trouble for them, day or night.The drives were interesting and very informative and at times exciting. (We saw a Pangolin). The respect for and understanding of the animals, by the drivers, is to be greatly admired.Seeing animals in their natural environment has forever spoiled zoos for me.I hope to have the opportunity to visit Madikwe River Lodge again.
