Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge

Destination

Madikwe

Madikwe Hills Private Game Reserve is situated in the Madikwe Game Reserve, traversing over 75 000 hecares of true, untamed Africa, where the plains still teem with game and wild dog roam freely amongst the 'Big Five'. 120km from Pilansberg Airport and 600km from Johannesburg International Airport. The Lodge is situated at the edge of the Marico River, under a grove of Tamboti and Marula trees, where you will find yourself enchanted by a world of intrigue and majestic beauty. Activities are made up of early morning and afternoon/evening game drives, and for the energetic, mid-morning guided game walks are offered. Back at camp you will find the highest standards of service and fine cuisine, accompanied by South African wines from the cellar. Fables of Scorpio and Orion may be told by the ranger whilst dining in the boma, where dramatic and exotic flames dance to the rhythmic beat of Africa's drum. Perhaps discover the navigational skills of the Southern Cross, whilst dining in the sophistication of silverware. Breakfast on the deck is an absolute must! Awaken your senses with an invigorating massage in the comfort of your suite, or relish the tranquil atmosphere of the library. The luxurious glass-fronted suites, complete with their own private veranda and rock plunge pool, are ingeniously placed amongst the boulders set in the magnificent koppies. There are two camps, one with 8 chalets. The second camp consisting of 4 chalets is geared towards families, as children are welcome. The unusual, yet subtle, dcor integrates natural elements, with colour highlighting Africa's ambience.

Directions To Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge

via Sun City / Molatedi Gate to Madikwe Hills This route normally takes 4 hours from Pretoria. The gravel road on this route makes it a little bumpy but not impassable in a sedan vehicle. This route is shorter than the route through Zeerust, but not our first recommendation, as it is partially gravel. It is advisable to fill up with fuel at the Sun Village, just after the Sun City entrance on the right as there is no fuel available inside the reserve. Take the shortest route to Sun City, otherwise follow directions below. • From ORT international get on the R21 towards Pretoria up to the Exit to the N1 Polokwane (about 37km). • Get onto the N1 towards Polokwane and continue up to the N4 Rustenburg slipway (about 22km). Take the slipway onto the N4 towards Rustenburg (this is just after the Zambezi drive offramp). • Once on the N4 continue in the direction of Rustenburg – take exit #225 which is the R556 Sun City/Majakaneng. (About 64km) • Turn right at the top of the off ramp to Sun City and continue straight to Sun City (approx 73 km's to Sun City from this off ramp). After passing Sun City on the right, continue straight (approximately 5 km) until you reach a four-way junction . • Turn right to DERDEPOORT. • Follow the road for approximately 8.5 km's and turn left at the sign saying, "BAPONG" and "Madikwe Game Reserve". • Continue straight along this road for approximately 34.8 km's (ignoring ALL signs saying "MADIKWE") after passing through MABESKRAAL at the 4 way stop turn right to DERDEPOORT/Molatedi Gate. • After 26kms the road will become gravel/dirt, the Dwarsberg Liquor Store will be on your left. Watch out for a "bump" as the tar ends. • Continue straight along this road for about 32 km of gravel, (do not take the next Derdepoort turning to the right, continue straight), passing through the Molatedi village over the Marico River and straight to the MOLATEDI GATE entrance into the Park. • Once through the gate, carry on straight for about 10km until you find a sign post on your left – turn RIGHT towards Derdepoort gate. After 539m, you'll find a T-junction – turn RIGHT onto Derdepoort Main Road – towards Derdepoort Gate. Carry on straight on this road. • Continue for 10.6km and you will find another sign board on the right at a four way crossing. Continue towards Derdepoort Gate. • The road will split immediately after the last sign board. Keep right on the well travelled road and drive around the dam until the road becames long and straight again. • If you continue on you will find another sign board on your left indicating Molori and Madikwe Safari lodge to the right. • Continue to the next sign board shortly thereafter on your right hand side (5.2km). This sign will indicate "Madikwe Hills / Etali / Ukuthula". Turn left towards Madikwe Hills. • Continue straight on until you will find the final sign board indicating "Madikwe Hills / Etali / Ukuthula" to the left.
