At Madikwe Safari Lodge, the days are designed to thrill you with intimate wildlife encounters and the nights to delight you with the indulgence and romance of Africa.

  • Morning Game Drive - As dawn breaks over the African bush, a gentle tap on your door will wake you to the delights of a new day. Your ranger will discuss what you hope to see that day over fragrant tea or coffee and morning biscuits or rusks. Explore the semi-arid landscape in an open 4x4 safari vehicle in the company of the ranger, who will attempt to track the rare African wild dog or the Big Five.
  • Breakfast - Return to the Lodge for a delicious breakfast, with platters of fruit and cheese followed by a selection of hot breakfast dishes. Choose from eggs, oats, waffles or a number of other options. 
  • Lunch - Lunch is served on expansive decks overlooking the game-filled plains.
  • Afternoon Tea - Cool off with a refreshing dip in your private plunge pool or indulge in an afternoon siesta. Over a late afternoon tea, your ranger will chat about what he had planned for the afternoon game drive. 
  • Evening Game Drive - This game drive begins in the late afternoon and lasts until after dark, when spotlights are used for a glimpse into the nocturnal bush life. Track brown hyena as they call to each other on an evening hunt or catch a glimpse of a predator getting ready for its nightly hunt. Enjoy sundowners in a scenic location as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon.
  • Dinner - Return to the Lodge for a mouthwatering dinner around a blazing fire in the boma with newfound friends. Linger over dessert and cognac or retire to the warm fireplace in your own suite.
