A Luxurious Game Lodge Experience In The Hills Of The Madikwe
Madikwe Hills Game Lodge is ideally positioned right on top of a rocky outcrop in the centre of the Madikwe Reserve; this gives one a massive advantage when it comes to wildlife sightings and drives. A spectacular position to say the least.
Madikwe Hills is one of the more luxurious options within the reserve. It is from your base here that one gets the chance to spot amongst others; lion, leopard, elephant, rhino (black and white), Cape buffalo, hyena (spotted and brown), as well as African wild dog.
An unforgettable game viewing and safari experience awaits all within the lap of luxury.
Rooms and Suites
With just ten suites on offer for those staying at Madikwe Hills Game Lodge, one is assured of a high level of privacy and intimacy. Glass-fronted suites offer views out over the reserve with private viewing decks, sun loungers and plunge pools.
Under-floor heating, air-conditioning, extra-length king-size beds and stunning en-suite bathroom facilities are standard in all luxury suite options.
Cuisine and Wine
The cuisine is a lavish affair, whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner or high tea. The chef and his team at Madikwe Hills will simply spoil one rotten for the duration of your stay from their gourmet kitchen.

Impodimo Review
If you're looking for an unpretentious good quality accommodation establishment, look no further than Impodimo in The Madikwe. Coming in at the perfect price, offering all the creature comforts as well as wildlife activities could easily be associated with a property 3x the price.
One will certainly not be disappointed.
Jamala Review
A review of one of our favourite lodges not only in the Madikwe Game Reserve but the whole of South Africa.
Why and how (well you will have to read for more thoughts and opinions), but in a nutshell - magnificent wildlife, great food, great rooms and most importantly fantastic service.
Mateya Review
One of those lodges that just blew us away. We knew that we were going somewhere special but just did not realise how extraordinary the experience would be.
Reflecting that old-world wildlife and birdlife experience - it is indeed more old school than new school regarding decor and feels.
