There is a waterhole for the animals about 50 meters in front of our lounge. Now we have a plan to build an underground “hide” to watch the animals from only a few meters away. Here’s a look at the construction work.

We were amazed when we found an impala in the midst of this herd with unusually long and thin horns. The males actually have differently shaped horns. And indeed: it was an extremely rare phenomenon in a female.

Did you know that there is a very specific type of zebra in Madikwe Game Reserve, namely the “Burchell’s zebra”? Rhulani’s Ranger Martin tells us more about this beautiful animal and how you can tell the difference between males and females.

Rhulani’s recent guest, Mr. John Pickering, supported one of our urgently needed conservation activities, a “Cheetah collaring”. Read the amazing article about this event, which got an unforgettable experience for John and his family.

The first month of the new year is already a thing of the past. While we enjoy this time in the most beautiful summer climate and sometimes with some welcome rain, the animal kingdom in Madikwe always gives us exciting moments. Like the one with the skinny lion and the dead giraffe. Welcome to our January update.

A family of warthogs is always fun to watch during a safari stay. They are nimble and very sweet, especially when there are five little piglets playing with each other.

It is a chilly morning today and our guests are still out in the bush. The ideal moment to show you our prepared breakfast buffet, which is prepared today in the cozy dining room and will welcome our guests upon return.

The elephants in Madikwe are wild and quite dangerous, but if you give them enough space and don’t provoke them, you can enjoy a close encounter with these mammals without stress and say “hello” to them. Check out three impressive sightings here.

Did you know that you can see the gray “Go-away Bird” in Madikwe? Rhulani’s Ranger Alasdair introduces us to this special bird today and explains why he calls them the “punk rockers of the bird world”.

Now that we are in the middle of the summer season, which sometimes brings us rain, our zebras enjoy the lush grasses and the green colors of nature.
