4-Day Madikwe Safari Adventure

Your safari begins with a scenic drive from Johannesburg or a transfer from Pilanesberg Airport to your luxury lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm welcome and settle into your elegant bush-style accommodation.

In the late afternoon, head out on your first game drive with an experienced ranger. Spot elephants, lions, rhinos, and other wildlife while learning about animal behavior and the reserve’s ecosystems. Pause for sundowners as the sun sets over the plains, then return to the lodge for a gourmet dinner under the stars, marking the perfect start to your African adventure.

Wake early for coffee and rusks before departing on your morning game drive, the prime time to witness predators returning from the hunt and the bush coming alive. Keep your eyes peeled for the Big Five, herds of antelope, and a variety of birdlife.

After breakfast, enjoy leisure time at the lodge—swim in the pool, indulge in a spa treatment, or relax on your private deck. Later, embark on an afternoon safari, capturing the golden light of sunset and spotting more wildlife along the way. Return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and the tranquil sounds of the African bush.

Rise early for another exciting morning safari, exploring a new section of the reserve. Each game drive offers fresh opportunities to see elephants drinking at waterholes, lions lounging in the shade, and the rare African wild dog.

After breakfast, enjoy free time at the lodge or take a guided nature walk nearby to learn more about the bush and its smaller inhabitants. In the late afternoon, set out again for your sunset game drive, ending your day with breathtaking views and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Return to the lodge for your final night in Madikwe.
