Overview

Tucked away in the 75,000-hectare Madikwe Game Reserve, Madikwe Safari Lodge is split into three distinct lodges, each designed to blend in with the natural surroundings. There’s the family-friendly Lelapa Lodge, adults-only Kopano Lodge, and hillside Dithaba Lodge for serious seclusion. Whichever they choose, guests can look forward to twice-daily game drives into the magnificent Madikwe Game Reserve, along with fantastic local cuisine, conservation activities, spa therapies and stargazing.

Climate

From October through to April, there can be high rainfall in Kruger which results in beautiful, lush green landscapes and amazing birdwatching but can make game viewing a little trickier due to the dense vegetation. As you enter the dry season from May, water sources dry up bringing out the wildlife and May through September are the best months for safari with August and September generally being peak time. Summer Safari’s (our winter) can also be a great time to go though as morning drives are not as chilly and during the day you can make the most of the pools at your reserve, late November/December is also when a lot of the young animals are born. Temperatures will be fairly warm during the day and chilly through the night and early morning. May is also a great time to visit KwaZulu Natal and ideal for visiting the Drakensberg mountains or for a beach stay in the region. As mentioned earlier, whale watching is at its best from July through November, and November is still off peak.
