Madikwe Game Reserve Travel Topics

  • Kids On Safari In The Madikwe, South Africa

    Kids In The Madikwe, a game reserve that offers up some of the best Big 5 sightings, a malaria-free area and a reserve that hosts some of the best family and child-friendly establishments in Southern Africa.

    This is the Madikwe Game Reserve.

  • 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.
