An Untamed Big Five Safari Adventure

Positioned on the banks of the Groot Marico River, bordering Botswana, the luxurious Madikwe River Lodge offers guests the chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of Africa, whilst relaxing on a shady wooden deck in riverine bush. Sixteen split-level suites surround the main lodge, with the outdoor dining boma located on a central island, accessed by a wooden bridge over the river. Your safari experience takes you to the untamed wilderness of the Kalahari Thornveld, where dining under African stars and early morning breakfasts under Acacia trees are the norm. Home to 66 large mammal species and 350 bird species, Madikwe River Lodge offers the opportunity to view Black Rhino, Wild Dog and even Bush Babies.

Directions

BY AIR:

Madikwe Charters flies from Johannesburg International on a daily basis, approximately 45 min flight.

Contact nr: 011 805 4888

BY ROAD:

The route as shown on the map takes approximately 3 1/2 hours, however the last 75km is on a gravel road. Should you take this route, please drive carefully on the gravel road. The quickest route is to enter through the Derdepoort gate. The lodge is situated 7km from this gate.

The other option is to simply travel from JHB to Zeerust on the N4 west, and from Zeerust take the road heading North to the Madikwe Game Reserve/Gabarone. The reserve is situated about 80km north of Zeerust. When entering the reserve, you will enter through the Abjaterskop gate. The lodge is about 40km further inside the reserve. The road all the way to the gate of the reserve is tarred making it a better road to travel, but it will take about 4 1/2 hours from JHB to the lodge.
