Places to Stay in Madikwe Game Reserve

Great comfort lodges with unique views over the water points. Live the safari experience from your terrace! The staff are all so friendly and helpful and the food incredible! Thank you Tau Lodge for a lifetime experience!

Do not hesitate – book this property right away! It was by far the most exceptional travel we have ever done (and we travel quite a bit). The lodge is absolutely gorgeous and I’d like to highlight that the pictures DO NOT do justice to the actual look of the place. The safari rides are exceptional and Madikwe is truly a beautiful reserve. From game drives, to brunch, high tea, dinner, massage, library with tons of books, chessboards available for random games, swimming pools, lounges around the lodge… you will never be bored and will be left with tons of memories. Finally to conclude - we would like to particularly highlight the STAFF, possibly the best experience we ever had. Our ranger Ryan has shown exceptional professionalism & impeccable service in everything he was doing. We were touched by his passion for his job and animals, and truly felt like we were going on drives with a living encyclopedia, amazing! We always felt safe during the rides and overall very well taken care of – from the first moment we got to know him, to the “good-mood wake up calls at 4:30am”, until the very last transfer to our airplane back to Johannesburg where he “winged at us” while we were taking off. Linda has been wonderful in welcoming us to the property, teaching us about baboons and elephants around the lodge and joking around with us. Spa, the executive chef, delivered the most amazing dishes, showed us the wine cave and was really looking after every experience with great attention and amiability. The overall staff taking care of the kitchen and rooms were wonderful with a true 5 stars attention to detail and care, with a welcome drink at any point in time. You know what we mean when one week after the trip, we are STILL talking about the Impodimo lodge and its wonderful team. Thank you!

Superb place, service, food, staff

What a place! I could honestly go on forever about how amazing Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge is! We were return travelers and had another truly incredible stay. From stunningly beautiful rooms, wonderful and very friendly staff, absolutely amazing wildlife and delicious food- nothing is short of perfect. We just wish we stayed longer! We will definitely be back!

Staff and facilities are extremely good. Everyone very welcoming and professional. Game drives were brilliant, the team did a fantastic job.

This is to express our utmost satisfaction and appreciation for the wonderful stay we had at Rhulani. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The staff's welcome was truly exceptional. Their genuine hospitality and attentiveness made us feel like valued guests throughout our stay. Their knowledge and passion for the lodge and its surroundings were evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The facility itself was nothing short of remarkable. Every aspect of the lodge was meticulously designed and maintained, creating a luxurious and tranquil atmosphere. The room we stayed in was simply stunning. The spaciousness, elegant furnishings, and attention to detail made it a cozy and inviting sanctuary. The private pool added a touch of exclusivity and allowed us to relax and unwind in privacy, surrounded by the beauty of the natural surroundings. The game drives were an absolute highlight of our stay. The knowledgeable and passionate game ranger (Willem) provided a wealth of information about the wildlife and their habitats, making each drive an educational and thrilling experience. The encounters with the magnificent animals in their natural habitat were truly awe-inspiring and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. The Boma evening was a truly memorable experience. The traditional setting, the crackling fire, and the delicious food made for an authentic and enjoyable evening. It offered a unique opportunity to connect with other guests and share stories while immersing ourselves in the rich African culture. The food and beverage offerings at Rhulani were exceptional. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Rhulani for their dedication to providing an exceptional guest experience.

Beautifully presented, very clean, wonderful staff members, very informative game drives with the guide Henru. Good delicious!
