Tucked along a rugged ridge with panoramic views of the untamed bushveld, Impodimo Game Lodge offers a premier safari experience in the heart of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, located in South Africa’s North West Province, near the Botswana border. This vast, 75,000-hectare reserve is renowned for its diverse terrain and extraordinary wildlife, including the Big 5, endangered African Wild Dogs (Painted Wolves), cheetahs, and both spotted and brown hyenas, along with over 300 species of birds and numerous large mammals.
The lodge has been elegantly built into the hillside to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, offering eight luxurious glass-fronted suites and a spacious Deluxe Suite, all positioned along a natural spring. Each suite provides guests with uninterrupted bush views, along with thoughtful amenities such as private decks, full en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, indoor fireplaces, and the option of king or twin beds for maximum comfort.
Wake to the sounds of the African wilderness and set off on early morning game drives led by experienced rangers and skilled Shangaan trackers. Traverse the reserve in open Land Rovers, where no two safari experiences are alike—from tracking lion prides to spotting elusive leopards in the brush. As the day transitions to evening, guests embark on sundowner safaris, a beloved tradition where you can witness the golden African sunset before seeking out nocturnal wildlife under the stars.
For the intrepid traveler, guided bush walks offer an immersive and exhilarating way to connect with nature on foot. Accompanied by an armed guide, you’ll learn about animal tracks, medicinal plants, and the subtle signs of the bush often missed on a vehicle safari.
Impodimo Game Lodge proudly welcomes families and children of all ages, offering a dedicated kids safari program designed to be fun, educational, and safe. Young adventurers are greeted with personalized welcome packs filled with activities, while children aged 6 and older can join standard game drives. For younger guests, the “kiddies bumble” safari ensures they don’t miss out, offering shorter, engaging outings curated just for them.
Children under 12 sharing with adults enjoy reduced rates at 50% of the adult rate, making family travel more accessible.
After your morning game drive, return to a generous brunch served at the poolside lapa, where you can dine while soaking in views of the reserve. As the day unfolds, afternoon high tea is served before your evening safari, followed by a three-course Pan-African dinner under the stars in the traditional boma, complete with fire-lit ambiance and storytelling. On cooler evenings, enjoy a cozy nightcap by the fire, recounting the day’s sightings.
In the winter months, Impodimo offers the unique opportunity to spend extended time exploring the reserve with a full-day safari experience, including a scenic picnic lunch beneath the trees—perfect for guests looking to venture deeper into the wild.
Discover the Elephant Hide at Impodimo Game Lodge—an extraordinary wildlife viewing experience that combines luxurious comfort with up-close encounters of Africa’s most captivating species.
