Encounter Amazing wildlife and the famous African Big 5

There is a choice of three lodges on the property: Lelapa Lodge, Kopano Lodge, Dithaba Lodge

Madikwe Safari Lodge offer spectacular views of the reserve

Lelapa Lodge welcomes children of all ages

Kopano the ideal safari destination for a family/friend adventure, unforgettable honeymoon, or solo discovery

Suites can be booked individually, for larger families with younger children we recommend booking exclusively

Set on the hills, Dithaba Lodge is a honeymooner’s paradise

Madikwe Safari Lodge located a mere 4 hour drive from OR Tambo International

Madikwe’s wooded hills give way to savannah and Kalahari plains, roamed by all of the Big Five and countless other mammals. Look up and you will see hundreds of resident and migrant birds gracing its skies. Coupled with the reserve being malaria-free, this all makes for a special place to explore.

This Madikwe experience comes standard, and what sets its Lelapa, Kopano and Dithaba lodges apart is simply a unique feel, appealing to different travellers.

Dithaba Lodge (meaning ‘mountain’ in Setswana) is thoughtfully positioned to maximise the glorious sense of space and privacy you get when on the reserve. Each of its four Suites is a couple’s or solo traveller’s retreat; or booked all together, an exclusive home base for a family or friend group while on safari.

Lelapa Lodge (meaning ‘family’ in the local Setswana language) is the kind of place that brings people together and welcomes you to settle in.

Kopano (meaning ‘small gathering’ in Setswana) has only four Suites and is akin to a traditional homestead. Book a Suite or the whole lodge exclusively – it’s this flexibility that makes Kopano the ideal safari destination for a family/friend adventure, unforgettable honeymoon, or solo discovery.
