Family hotels and homes in Madikwe Game Reserve

we had a great time!! higly recomend.

The whole set up is brilliant, the rooms and main lodge, the staff, their service, the guide and tracker on the game drives, are just amazing, I couldn't fault anything and would go back without hesitation, my wife and I absolutely loved the whole experience.

It was an amazing stay at Madikwe. The game drives in the morning and evening were amazing, we had a very skilled ranger who knew a lot and saw a lot of animals. The rooms were spacious and clean and at the waterhole there were always animals to watch. The staff was so friendly and helpful, food was also delicious. I can warmy recommend going there, I will surely return one day.

Perfect location, a lot of animals - lions, rhinos, buffalo, zebras, cheetah... :) We felt being taken care of at every our step. Damien - is a fantastic game driver. We stayed just one night and it is just one big WOW! We will definitely come back.

Superb place, service, food, staff

What a place! I could honestly go on forever about how amazing Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge is! We were return travelers and had another truly incredible stay. From stunningly beautiful rooms, wonderful and very friendly staff, absolutely amazing wildlife and delicious food- nothing is short of perfect. We just wish we stayed longer! We will definitely be back!

Staff and facilities are extremely good. Everyone very welcoming and professional. Game drives were brilliant, the team did a fantastic job.

Beatiful location. Fantastic staff. Excellent food.

We have been to many Game Lodges. Rockfig Lodge offers the best accommodation (probably in entire SA) by far. You rent a complete house. The style is not the typical safari style houses (thatched roof, lots of wood, treetrunks integrated into structure and so on) but very tastefull, outstandingly comfortable and spacious. You don`t miss anything. Large wardrobes, drawers, complete kitchen, Maxibar (stocked to your taste)... you name it. A very large, covered porch. lounge corner, table with 6 seats, youre own fireplace in your private garden, illuminated surrounding (you can switch it of, but it is very nice, if you sit outside in the dark on your private share of paradise and it is not completely dark). The views are absolutely great. In many safari lodges, the view from your room is very limited, in Rockfig it is breathtaking. Most important of course, are game drives. Game drives in Rockfig are as good as in any other lodge. It very much depends on the guide. Our guide was "Honest" and he really has been good (not living on jokes but on knowlegde and really excellent spotting ability). Game driving in Madikwe generally is excellent (we have been here three times already). No private cars, a maximum of three cars on a sighting, and all guides communicate with each other. You never have the feeling of beeing part of a crowd, or participating in a race. Food was also good, not outstanding, service was okay as well ( not as attentive as in much more expensive lodges however) Excellent value for money and really great experience (especially if you prefer to spend some time in private) We would definataly return
