Day 4  Johannesburg-Madikwe Private Game Reserve | Meals: BLD
Walk back to the terminal for the light aircraft flight to the Madikwe Game Reserve. The reserve is one of the largest in South Africa and holds the distinction of being the recipient of the largest wildlife translocation in the world. More than 8,000 animals representing 28 species were released in Madikwe - including lion, cheetah, elephant and buffalo. Leopard were already resident in the reserve, so game viewing is spectacular. Your intimate lodge sits on a hill overlooking the bushveld and each ultra-luxurious suite is set among the boulders. The choice of game activity is yours.

Madikwe Hills



In the early 1940's the Marico district was declared the poorest province in South Africa. Thus the Parks Board decided to create the MADIKWE GAME RESERVE, situated in a malaria free area, not only to conserve the fauna and flora, but also to provide a sanctuary to visitors from afar, as well as a more favorable environment to the local people.

At the edge of the Marico River and under a grove of Tamboti and Marula trees alike, you will find yourself enchanted by a world of intrigue and majestic beauty. MADIKWE HILLS is where the plains still team with game and the acacia savannah symbolizes a paragon of beauty. BLACK RHINO roam freely amongst the BIG 5 - Giraffe gallop across the plains at sunset and zebra call out to one another in the early hours of the morning, after enduring a night of the "savage beast" upon the plains - LION.

Traversing over 75,000 hectares of true, untamed Africa and set in magnificent koppies amongst boulders, MADIKWE HILLS gently ebbs to the pulse of Africa's drumbeat - The luxurious suites are ingeniously placed amongst the boulders. The unusual, yet subtle d�cor integrates natural elements with colours highlighting Africa's ambiance.

After a mere 45 minute flight from Gauteng, or a scenic four hour drive, you will be met by our warm and friendly staff in the main reception area. It is here where you can select gifts for your friends and family back home from our curio shop, which boasts a breath-taking view of the boulders and rocks of MADIKWE HILLS - open landrovers with bucket seats and fold-down armrests stand ready to take you on safari. Your knowledgeable ranger with his friendly disposition, will ensure that your experiences are not but a "whisper on the winds of a timeless eternity".

Your suite has been designed for complete relaxation and comfort, each boasting soft sofas, voluptuous mosquito netting and cotton picot linen. Overhead fans and air-conditioning are a welcome respite from the harshness of the African heat. Salute the timelessness of Africa with a gin & tonic from your fully stocked mini bar. For the energetic MADIKWE HILLS offers a fully equipped gym and health spa. For the businessman.... Internet connection! Children of all ages are most welcome and are accommodated with their own game activities and where needed, Nannies can be arranged to baby sit.

A library full of verse and history awaits those yearning for knowledge of the African continent. Fables of Scorpio and Orion may be told by your ranger of Greek mythology, whilst dining in a rustic boma where dramatic and exotic flames dance to the uneven beat of life's drum. Perhaps you will discover the navigational skills of the Southern Cross before dining in the sophistication of silverware. Breakfast on the deck is an absolute must!

All this and so much more MADIKWE HILLS...

Day 5 & 6  Madikwe Private Game Reserve | Meals: BLD
For the next two days the schedule is completely up to you. You can game view in the morning and relax poolside in the afternoon. Or sleep in and game view later in the day. Enjoy the pampering spa and the scrumptous cuisine. Game viewing is exciting, with a wide variety of plains game, along with hyena, giraffe, zebra and buffalo. Madikwe is also an excellent place to spot wild dog. The Reserve is an interesting collaboration between the state, the local community and the private sector. It is based on the premise that people come before wildlife and conservation -- believing that in order for conservation to really succeed, the entire community must first benefit. Once the community begins to reap benefits, conservation objectives are met as well.

    Kings Camp offers a lounge/dining room, bar, pool terrace and a game viewing platform which overlooks a very active waterhole. Other facilities include the curio shop, laundry, valet, fax, gym and library with internet facilities.

    While at the camp you enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with knowledgeable rangers in open vehicles. You will be served tea, coffee and biscuits on your morning game drive and drinks and canap�s on your afternoon game drive. Your afternoon game drive gets back after dark, which gives you the opportunity to spot our nocturnal animals with a spotlight.
