  • 5 Bush Villas and 1 Family Villa
  • Madikwe Game Reserve
  • Exceptional Big Five viewing
  • Excellent rated by guests

Set in the malaria-free wilderness of Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa’s North West Province, this exclusive five-star lodge offers an unforgettable bush experience for just ten discerning guests.

Reached easily via daily air shuttle services from Johannesburg with Madikwe Air Charters, or by a scenic 3½-hour drive, the lodge is both accessible and blissfully remote — the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion.

Nestled beneath the shade of towering Leadwood trees, the lodge’s five luxury bush villas and main building blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings. From this elevated sanctuary, guests are treated to sweeping views across the reserve and the soothing tranquillity of the African bushveld.

At the heart of the lodge, the central main area overlooks a waterhole, where families of elephants and other big game come to drink — a living theatre of the wild, right on your doorstep.

Inside, discover the perfect balance of elegance and relaxation: indoor and outdoor lounges, a dining room, a wraparound viewing deck, and a rim-flow swimming pool that seems to spill into the savanna.

Evenings are spent under the stars in the open-air boma, where stories are shared beside the fire’s glow.

Whether you choose an individual booking or exclusive use of the entire lodge, this haven offers a private, personalised safari retreat — ideal for small groups, friends, or corporate getaways seeking absolute privacy and an authentic connection to nature.
