The region is also imbued in history and has seen the passage of Mzilikazi and a range of explorers, traders, hunters and missionaries, including Dr David Livingstone, Sir Cornwallis Harris and the famous South African author, Herman Charles Bosman.Madikwe Safari Lodge is ideally situated in the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. The lodge offers interactive bush walks, which allows you to get close to nature!

Madikwe Safari Lodge consists of three exclusive camps – totalling just 16 suites in all – feature a simple yet sophisticated Madikwe style. Each very spacious suite features a sitting area and en-suite bathroom.     

The best time to visit the Madikwe Game Reserve are the South African spring and fall seasons, as you will get nice sunny days and not to chilly evenings. Best months are September and October, the park is dry, animals congregate at pools and rivers which makes them more easy to find, temperature is hot during the dry and nice summer evenings. December-March is rainy seasons, but this rain comes mostly in afternoon thunderstorms. In general Madikwe catches only 600-800 mm of rain so that isn't very much. During the day it can be come hot. The scenery will be green. April till August are also nice months with clear blue skies during the day with temperatures around 72 degrees but during the nights temperatures can go back to 40 degrees.
