Itinerary

Day 1 - Madikwe Game Reserve

Your driver will pick you up from your preferred location in Johannesburg or Pretoria. Upon arrival, and check in. Enjoy a swim and afternoon tea with savoury and sweet treats. Join an evening game drive with a local ranger in an open safari vehicle to see the Big Five. Post-sunset, observe nocturnal wildlife with spotlights. Dinner is served at the lodge, often around a campfire in a boma. You can then relax in your luxury tent or visit the game-viewing hide.

Day 2-3 - Madikwe Game Reserve

Start your day before sunrise with tea or coffee and a light breakfast, then head out for a morning wildlife game drive. The cooler temperatures and morning light are perfect for spotting animals and photography. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast. Then relax by the pool or explore the resort's amenities. After lunch depart on sunset wildlife drive, ending your day with a meal and reflective time around the campfire.

Day 4 - Madikwe Game Reserve

The last morning game drive of your stay will begin bright and early today, and we hope that it will be filled with some unforgettable experiences for you to take away. After the drive, you will have breakfast at your lodge before being taken back to your preferred location in Johannesburg or Pretoria.
