Nestled among ancient Tamboti trees and rugged granite boulders, Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge is a luxury safari destination situated in the heart of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s most celebrated conservation areas. Located in the North West Province and spanning over 75,000 hectares, the lodge enjoys a prime position away from the reserve’s borders, ensuring unparalleled access to wildlife sightings and a truly immersive safari experience.
Positioned on a scenic rocky outcrop in central Madikwe, the lodge offers front-row access to game-rich plains and thriving waterholes.

With more than 300 bird species recorded in the reserve, Madikwe is also a birder’s paradise.
