I have visited various game lodges in Africa - and the top two are this one and it's sister lodge Leopard Hills. The service is brilliant, rooms beautifully done (and huge), great food and importantly the guides and trackers really know their stuff. For most of the time Nick and Max took me on amazing adventures - including wild dog... More

We met Hannes the General Manager and Ezelle (House Manager) which was lovely to be able to put faces to e-mails as... More

We had a really great experience at Madikwe Hills. Our tracker/ranger team were excellent and did a great job of spotting the animals sightings before other vehicles. In general, the rangers in the park interacting really well together and we're careful to only let 2-3 vehicles in a sighting at one time, which doesn't happen at all game parks. Room... More

On arrival we were served a welcome drink. Our car was taken and parked in a secure area. The reception was friendly and our luggage just appeared in our chalet. The room was beautifully decorated and the king sized bed with huge mosquito net just added the Out of Africa luxury. We had our own private pool as well as... More

My husband and I have been living in South Africa for a year now, and have been on many safaris--maybe 30-some game drives--and Madikwe Hills has been our best experience so far. The rooms were extremely luxurious and private, and the service was more than outstanding. As far as the game, this was our first time getting up-close views of... More

We had a 2 night weekend stay and got to experience a fantastic Boma dinner which included an... More

We had an amazing experience at Madikwe Hills. The staff were world class, as was the accomodation, food and game drives. The game drives were a highlight, as we saw so much game ( including wild dog and hyena) and the rangers shared many other interesting facts while we were on our drives. I highly recommend Madikwe Hills and would... More
