Accommodation
The community owns and manages the tented Thakadu River Camp as a whole. This endeavour is a collaboration between the Molathedi Community, the North-West Parks Authority, and AHA Hotels & Lodges.

This method is unique, and it provides tremendous advantages to the community. Thakadu River Camp is located at the Marico River in the Eastern Madikwe Game Reserve.

Its treetop lodge blends nicely with its natural surroundings, enabling visitors to relax and enjoy the tranquil ambience. The main lodge includes a pool, a bar, and open plan living, eating, and reception facilities.

The lapas of the woodland glade give panoramic sights. In the base camp, there are a total of 12 luxurious tents, each of which has its own private bathroom as well as a deck that looks out over the Marico River.

The suites all feature air conditioning for your comfort throughout the hot summer months. The tents are large and decorated in an
Afro-Asian theme.

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 2-4 - 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 5 - 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
