Your safety is our Priority at Madikwe Safari Lodge
We have a team of dedicated physicians from Peretz Medical working with us to educate our people and look after their well-being. We have also partnered with Test Me Now who have created tailor-made solutions for the Madikwe Safari Lodge that ensure we are in line with the World Health Organisations recommendations and at the forefront of prevention.
Updated Booking Terms & Relaxed Cancellation Penalties
