Three nights with a private plunge pool

Settle into Madikwe Safari Lodge for a four-day stay pairing suite-side leisure with six guided open-vehicle safaris. Your luxury suite has a private plunge pool, giving you a quiet retreat between wildlife outings in malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve.

The lodge’s Lelapa, Kopano and Dithaba camps each have their own atmosphere; your camp and suite allocation follow confirmed availability and party requirements. The photograph illustrates the lodge accommodation, not a guaranteed room assignment.

Morning bushveld and afternoon discoveries

Transfers from Johannesburg or Pretoria take approximately four to five hours, subject to traffic and pickup. Arrival lunch, high tea and an afternoon safari start the programme. On the two full days, sunrise outings alternate with lodge meals and leisure before afternoon/evening drives. Your final morning safari and breakfast precede the journey home.

Safaris are led by FGASA-accredited guides in shared lodge vehicles unless exclusive arrangements are confirmed. Guides follow tracks, habitats and animal movements; neither Big Five sightings nor particular encounters are guaranteed. Optional walks, picnics and other experiences require advance confirmation and may carry additional charges.

Your sharing and solo rates

US$4,970 per person sharing; US$6,958 solo with the standard 40% supplement. Includes three suite nights, six open safaris, return city transfers, itinerary meals, teas/coffees, minibar, soft drinks and selected beers, spirits and house wines, drive snacks, public-area Wi-Fi and all programme entrance/conservation fees.

Premium beers, spirits, cellar wines and champagne, gratuities, telephone calls, laundry, personal purchases and spa treatments are excluded. Confirm dietary needs, camp allocation, pickup and onward flights before booking. Safari times vary seasonally and dining arrangements depend on conditions.
