Rise at dawn to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day, as you enjoy game viewing in an open top game vehicle in Madikwe Game Reserve. Explore the vast plains, which offer magnificent game viewing and the opportunity to search for all of the Big 5 - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino - and much more, before returning to your lodge for breakfast.
The rest of the morning is free to relax by the swimming pool or enjoy bird watching, before setting out again in the late afternoon for another game drive. With numerous different species of mammals and reptiles in the park you can hope to see cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and many other interesting animals. Outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed.
After a beautiful African sunset, enjoy the balmy evening and pristine stars of the Milky Way – as well as the spectacular Southern Cross.
Note: You need some upper body strength for this safari, as you will need to be lifted into the front seat of the game viewing vehicle. Children < 6 are not allowed on open top game drives at most lodges, but child-friendly lodges are available on request.
