Four nights of suite comfort in Madikwe

Stay at Madikwe Hills Game Lodge, where luxury suites and attentive lodge hospitality provide a calm base for five days in the malaria-free reserve. Between outings, relax at the pool, retreat to your air-conditioned suite or ask about spa treatments at additional cost. Outdoor boma dinners depend on weather and lodge arrangements.

Eight drives through changing bushveld

Explore with professional rangers on eight approximately three-hour open-vehicle safaris: one arrival-afternoon outing, two on each of three full days and a final sunrise drive. Look for the Big Five, African wild dogs and varied birdlife. Drives are shared with other lodge guests unless an exclusive vehicle is separately confirmed; sightings are never guaranteed.

Private city transfers

Begin with an early private pickup from your preferred Johannesburg or Pretoria address in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle. The Johannesburg journey takes around 4.5 hours, depending on traffic. After your final safari and breakfast, return to the city with an expected drop-off around 17:00, subject to road conditions.

Price and inclusions

US$5,800 per person sharing; US$8,120 solo with the standard 40% supplement. Includes four suite nights, eight safaris, private return transfers, conservation levy, itinerary meals and selected local beverages, house wines and spirits. Day one dinner, breakfast/lunch/dinner on days two to four and final-day breakfast are included. Imported drinks, personal purchases and gratuities are excluded; flights, arrival lunch and spa treatments are not included.

Guest age requirements

Guests must be aged ten or older. Contact us before booking for children aged ten to eleven so eligibility and arrangements can be confirmed. Confirm pickup details, dietary requirements and onward travel connections before departure.
