Home to the Big Five, Madikwe Game Reserve is one of Southern Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations — and uniquely, it’s malaria-free, making it a safe choice for families and international travellers. The reserve spans over 75,000 hectares and showcases an incredible range of landscapes, from the riverine forests of the Groot Marico River to open plains, rocky ridges, and the dramatic Dwarsberg mountain range.
Wildlife sightings include:
Elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and both black and white rhino
African wild dogs, cheetah, giraffe, and zebra
An abundance of antelope species and over 350 species of birds
Whether you’re on a guided morning game drive or relaxing at your villa watching elephants at a nearby waterhole, the wildlife of Madikwe never fails to deliver.
One of the standout features at Rock Fig Madikwe is its private, ground-level photographic hide, offering a rare and intimate perspective of the African wilderness. Overlooking a 20,000-litre manmade waterhole, the hide is discreetly positioned to deliver up-close encounters with a wide range of wildlife — all from the comfort and safety of a shaded, sound-insulated viewing space.
From the tiny klipspringer delicately balancing on rocky outcrops to towering elephants silently quenching their thirst, this hide allows you to observe the drama of the bush unfold just metres away, often without the animals ever knowing you’re there.
The hide’s low angle and unobstructed sight lines offer the perfect setup for capturing striking wildlife images, from golden-hour silhouettes to nocturnal portraits. Whether you’re a professional photographer or a nature lover with a smartphone, you’ll appreciate the unique opportunity to shoot from eye-level with the animals.
Exclusively available to Rock Fig Lodge guests, the hide can be visited any time of day or night. After dark, soft red LED interior lighting ensures visibility inside while maintaining complete concealment from wildlife outside — perfect for late-night game watching, stargazing, or simply enjoying the stillness of the wild.
Rock Fig Madikwe’s private villas are perfectly designed for families, couples travelling together, or small groups of friends seeking an exclusive safari experience. Each spacious villa offers a self-contained, home-away-from-home feel, with multiple bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, private pool, and outdoor entertainment areas — all surrounded by the wild beauty of Madikwe Game Reserve.
Whether you’re enjoying dinner around your private boma fire, lounging by your plunge pool with a view, or heading out together on a customised game drive, the setup at Rock Fig Lodge allows for both social connection and personal space — ideal for multigenerational families or groups celebrating a special occasion.
Pro Tip: Booking a full villa ensures a flexible itinerary and a more personalised safari, with the option to dine, relax, and adventure entirely on your own schedule.
