A villa beneath the leadwood trees

Spend two nights at Motswiri Private Safari Lodge, where thatched Luxury Bush Villas bring fireplace comfort, air conditioning and wraparound wooden decks to your Madikwe stay. Outdoor rock showers add a close-to-nature touch. Between four ranger-led outings, settle into the lodge’s lounge or enjoy its shared pool and waterhole views.

This package uses a Luxury Bush Villa, not the separate Family Villa with its own pool. Room allocation and special arrangements depend on confirmation. Madikwe is malaria-free and supports the Big Five; wildlife visits to the waterhole and particular safari sightings are never guaranteed.

Four outings, time to unwind

Private road transfers connect your preferred Johannesburg, OR Tambo or Pretoria location with Motswiri. Lodge safaris take place in open vehicles shared with other lodge guests unless exclusive arrangements are confirmed. An arrival-afternoon drive and dinner begin your stay; Day 2 pairs morning and afternoon safaris with breakfast, lunch and dinner. A last morning drive and breakfast precede your return transfer.

Package price and inclusions

US$1,750 per person sharing; US$2,450 solo with the standard 40% supplement. Two lodge nights, four open safaris, private return transfers, itinerary meals, Wi-Fi and entrance/conservation fees are included. All beverages and gratuities are excluded. Confirm pickup, onward flight timing and dietary needs before travel. Dining locations and exact safari departure times depend on weather and lodge arrangements.

Itinerary

  1. Day 1 – Leadwood shade and an evening safari

    Your private driver collects you at the agreed Johannesburg or Pretoria location, with OR Tambo pickup available by arrangement. Travel to Madikwe and check in at Motswiri. Freshen up in your Bush Villa, enjoy a swim or afternoon tea, then depart on an open-vehicle safari with a local ranger. After sunset, spotlight viewing may reveal nocturnal animals. Return for dinner and a peaceful night at the lodge.

    Stay: Motswiri Luxury Bush Villa. Meals: Afternoon tea and dinner; beverages excluded.

  2. Day 2 – Morning tracks and waterhole leisure

    Start before daybreak for your morning safari, then return for breakfast. Relax by the shared pool, on your villa deck or in the main lodge before lunch. A second outing explores Madikwe in the late afternoon and evening; return for dinner. Meal and departure schedules are confirmed by the lodge.

    Stay: Motswiri Luxury Bush Villa. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner; beverages excluded.

  3. Day 3 – One last drive and the journey home

    Join your fourth open-vehicle safari early in the morning. Return for breakfast, check out and meet your private driver for the journey back to your preferred Johannesburg or Pretoria location. Confirm flight connections before arranging airport drop-off.

    Meals: Breakfast; beverages excluded.
