A ONE-OF-A-KIND LUXURY SAFARI FOR EVERY AGE, EVERY MOMENT, EVERY SEASON

Set within Madikwe Game Reserve’s astonishing wilderness, where the Kalahari Desert and the lush Lowveld meet

A safari as unique as you…

Welcome to Madikwe Safari Lodge – where no two journeys are ever the same. Set within the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa’s remote North West, this rare wilderness marks the meeting point of the Kalahari and the Lowveld – an extraordinary ecological crossroads home to the Big Five, endangered wild dogs, and over 350 bird species.Africa.

Here, safari is deeply personal. Whether it’s a multi-generational family holiday, an intimate honeymoon, or a solo retreat into the wild, each stay is uniquely shaped around you. With three distinct camps and a private villa, you have the freedom to experience it all – together or apart, social or secluded.

We don’t offer safaris; we create the perfect setting – spellbinding ecoscapes, intuitive hospitality, and effortless luxury – so you can shape your own.
