All accommodation is comfortably appointed with percale bed linen and fluffy towels. Air conditioning, separate baths and showers and a full range of amenities ensure that guests will want for nothing.

Wildlife

Madikwe is a 75,000 hectare paradise of untouched wilderness that is a sanctuary for the myriad species of birds, reptiles and mammals that inhabit it. In addition to the Big Five, the reserve also hosts one of the largest elephant populations in South Africa.

The endangered wild dog is also one of the most rewarding a species to be spotted here, along with the black rhino and cheetah. Birdlife is abundant, with over 350 species inhabiting the riverine forests and Kalahari sandveld plains.
