A Hidden Gem in Madikwe – Perfect for Families
We had a wonderful stay at this cosy little lodge in Madikwe. With only four rooms, it feels intimate and peaceful — just what we were looking for. The staff were incredibly warm and accommodating, especially with the children. They really made an effort to get the kids involved in the experience, which made it extra special for our family.
The safari rides were excellent — well-organised, exciting, and with some fantastic animal sightings. The guides were knowledgeable and patient, and made sure both adults and children were engaged throughout.
One of the highlights was the animal hide — a brilliant spot where we saw loads of wildlife up close in a quiet, relaxed setting. It really added to the experience.
The food was consistently delicious, and the snacks in between meals were a real treat. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail here.
If I had one small suggestion for improvement, it would be to stream the watering hole’s live feed to the rooms — it would be lovely to keep an eye on the activity even when relaxing indoors.
Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a relaxed and personal safari experience.
