Es war einfach großartig! Unser Game Fahrer Doktor war Grundschule spitze! Der Aufenthalt war zu kurz und wir werden wiederkommen. Für unsere Weiterfahrt haben wir sogar einen Lunchpaket bekommen. Einfach toll.

The rooms in the property were amazing, we received a free upgrade and gifts. The chef cooked us a 5 star meal morning, noon and night. The game drives were eye popping, the whole experience was one of the best ever

The Royal Madikwe Experience

Nothing prepares one for the total Royal Madikwe Lodge and Game Park experience. Sheer excellence in every aspect of our stay. We hadn’t realised that private cars aren’t allowed in the game park but two game drives a day, one starting at 5.30am, and one at 4.30pm, in a superb viewing vehicle, with a very experienced ranger is included in the hotel rate. The drives are for about 3 to 4 hours each. The big five are very much in evidence and so much more. Our luxurious villa had its own pool on the patio and overlooked the hotels waterhole so game viewing whilst in the pool or lying on the sun bed was a daily pleasure between the drives and delicious meals. We rate this as the best game lodge we have every stayed at

Simplesmente perfeito em tudo!

Olha, nunca estivemos em um hotel/pousada tão perfeito como esse! Serviço de quarto, guia de safari, atenção dos funcionários, tudo muito bom!!! Vale muito o valor que se paga... Tivemos o prazer de ter diferentes refeições em diferentes locais dentro da pousada e muitíssimo bem preparadas. O quarto então nem se fale, limpo, arrumado, confortável, com uma vista para savana maravilhosa. Tem um lago na frente onde os bichos tomam água e você pode ficar observando eles de uma forma extremamente confortável. Estávamos em Lua de Mel e eles nos fizeram uma surpresa, arrumando nosso quarto, preparando de uma maneira muito romântica...demais!!! Recomendadíssimo!!!!

Family Safari

Family safari to Madikwe. Stayed in the Royal Villa, which easily accommodated five adults and one child. Beautiful hotel; can't beat the view of the watering hole! Service/food top notch. A perfect three day luxury safari. Thank you to all!
