Set in amongst the rocky dolomite ridge of the Madikwe Game Reserve, The Royal Madikwe is the perfect retreat to rejuvenate your mind, exhale life’s pressures and inhale the magnificent beauty surrounding you. Endless views dotted with volcanic intrusions known as inselbergs give way to grasslands, rocky outcrops and ancient Leadwood trees in the transition region where the Kalahari Thornveldt and the Bushveldt Complex meet.
Travellers choose to stay at The Royal Madikwe because of the unforgettable experience, the seamless luxury, our sincere and passionate team and of course the consistent abundance of wildlife encounters both on safari and right on our doorstep featuring our private waterhole around which the lodge is enveloped.
“The Royal Madikwe is a very special place where families, couples, and groups of friends have the opportunity to share a piece of our Africa in a magical way.
We invite you to share our journey as you encounter spectacular wildlife, soak up the sunshine, relinquish your mind to the sounds of the bush and even take on an African drumming lesson! Let our passion guide you through your safari experience as you relish in this wild, tranquil and natural setting.
The Royal is about so much more than a safari holiday; it is the memory you will carry in your heart for a lifetime and the story you will tell to your grandchildren of your great African adventure with a team who opened their hearts to you so that you may share their love for a place they call home….”
