Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge

Madikwe Hills is situated in the Malaria Free Madikwe Game Reserve in the North West Province. A mere 45 minute flight from Gauteng, or a scenic four hour drive, Madikwe Hills is where the plains still team with game and the acacia savannah symbolise Africa’s beauty. Traversing over 75,000 hectares of true, untamed, "Big Five" Africa and set in magnificent koppies amongst boulders, Madikwe Hills's unusual, yet subtle décor integrates natural elements with colours highlighting Africa’s ambiance.

The accommodation consists of only ten ultra-luxurious glass-fronted suites each with their own verandah and private plunge pool, ingeniously placed amongst the boulders. Each suite has been designed for complete relaxation and comfort and boasts soft sofas, a fully stocked mini bar, voluptuous mosquito netting and cotton picot linen. Overhead fans and air-conditioning are a welcome respite from the harshness of the African heat.

For the energetic Madikwe Hills offers a fully equipped gym and health spa; for the businessman… Internet connection!

Select gifts for your friends and family back home from the curio shop, which boasts a breath-taking view of the boulders and rocks of Madikwe Hills. Open landrovers with bucket seats and fold-down armrests stand ready to take you on your african safari.

A library awaits those yearning for knowledge of the African continent. Along with a warm and friendly atmosphere, Madikwe Hills offers you the highest standards of service and fine cuisine accompanied by superb wines from the wine cellar. The unique boma offers traditional and elegant atmosphere of dining under a blanket of African stars. Fables of Scorpio and Orion may be told by your ranger, whilst dining in a rustic. Perhaps you will discover the navigational skills of the Southern Cross before dining in the sophistication of silverware. Breakfast on the deck is an absolute must!
