Impodimo Game Lodge was perfect! We did the all-inclusive option. Everything was streamlined. The cottage was beautiful and had all the amenities. Cottage 4 was right next to a path where elephants walked frequently! All of the staff were lovely. On the game drives we were made as comfortable as possible with blankets and water. Impodimo has both a ranger and a tracker per vehicle, which provided a unique experience. Each game drive also had a stop for a beverage and a little snack.

The lodge is beautiful, in touch with nature all around it. Our lodge had views to the water hole where lots of animals drank water, we could see elephants through our window, it was wonderful. The ranger (Elliot) took us in amazing safari game drives around the park twice a day. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the food is delicious. We totally loved it! Can’t wait to go back

From the moment we arrived, we were very well looked after by Clarinda and the rest of the team. Our lodge was marvellous in every way – an outside rock shower, a huge indoor bath. A beautiful canopied bed to keep the mossies out and a large, very private decking area where we could watch the animals passing by on their way to the watering hole. Housekeeping was just perfect. We never saw them but everything was done for us including putting hot water bottles in our bed for the chilly nights. The food was first class too. The chef obviously takes great pride in the presentation. It was beautiful. The lodge watering hole was just fabulous. One lunchtime, there were 16 elephants drinking from it along with some tiny ones. It was mesmerising and from the viewing tunnel you can get so close to them. Martin our ranger was an absolute star. He went above and beyond to show us the wildlife in the park and we will always be grateful to him for giving us such a magical time. He has encyclopaedic knowledge of everything and his love for the animals shines through. Our twice daily game drives were fantastic. Martin strove to locate different animals each day, using his well-equipped Land Cruiser to reach even the furthest corners of the reserve. His tracking skills were uncanny. One day he followed the tracks of a pack of wild dogs before finally finding them taking a break under a shady bush well away from any recognised path. Stopping for morning coffee and afternoon sundowners in remote areas was always a delight and offered a chance to stretch legs and chat to the other holiday makers. We were so lucky to have Martin and so is Tuningi. We will remember it always.

We had the Lodge and the team for ourselves for two days. What a privilege! But also when other guests arrived for the two consecutive nights, the service level remained equally high. The whole team was out to make our stay special, from our guide Honest, who we shared some deep insights with: about the world in general and animals in particular. Pauline and Neo looked after all our service needs, while the chef and her team prepared one creative meal after the next. Even though we had a rainy and cold winter day, the team did their best to produce sunshine through their service, bringing lunch to the villa or providing a nice welcome drink by the fire after the game drive. The hide next to the villa, equipped with tea, coffee and cold drinks, was an extra benefit. We certainly enjoyed the different herds wandering through from the comfortable hide. The Villas, in a contemporary but comfortable style, cater d to all our needs, from an evening by the fireplace with a glass of wine to the morning tea. All that in a stylish, but warm and friendly environment. We certainly would consider Rockfig for another stay!

    Difficult and bumpy road to get there when you cannot locate the proper route to Madikwe River lodge but the magic unravels as soon as you get close : the animals, the vegetation and one lonely but warm lady at the post who welcomes you to adventure! Blissfully peaceful, Matildah gazing at you while the other impalas peer from the bushes, one cheeky monkey sitting on the roof while the invisible chirping and singing lull you to quietude, right next to the river. The lady at the reception readily informed the Chef about my meal preferences and I was served fish, veggies and rice for dinner. The morning safari was conducted by a guide who read the tracks in Nature and drove us to a cheetah, a napping lion, a rising rhino, munching wildebeests and 3 black rhinos not happy at visitors for disturbing their early morn routine ;), and another napping lion! We looked fondly at the baby elephant and had to be careful when a big male elephant "in mas" came our way. It was one beautiful experience.

    This reserve only allows visitors that stay in one of the lodges so their are no day tours. The guides all work together so they give eachother locations of animals they’ve spotted but than they go in turns to the animal so they don’t get overwhelmed by a traffic jam of tourists.

    Everything about Madikwe was excellent from the food, to the wonderful staff and the amazing Game rides where we saw everything possible from zebras, to elephants, to cheetah and lions and smaller creatures in abundance. The Ranger and Tracker were very knowledgeable and made our drives very interesting-we learned so much, It was truly a very special experience

    Madikwe is reclaimed farmland, so there are not the very large herds you may see in Kruger. Some of them are sizable - for example, they have a herd of African buffalo of nearly 500 head. One of the main draws is that it is Malaria free. The reserve is a good 5-hour drive from Johannesburg, at least. So it is a long way, and the roads in South Africa are not always safe, so consider this - it is worthwhile checking about a flight. The landscapes in the reserve are varied and very beautiful, there are incredible sightings to be had and there is a good variety of animals and birds too.

    The two game drives via Tau Game Lodge were exceptional.

    The two game drives via Tau Game Lodge were exceptional. Israel, the ranger, was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to track down 4 out 5 of the "big 5" game. It was surreal being so close to some of the animals. Photo ops are aplenty. I have nothing bad to say about Madikwe.

    Madikwe is one of the best reserves we ever visited, everything is well looked after and there are some really beautiful spots. We only stayed at one lodge, (Rockfig, which was excellent) so I can't comment on the lodges, but I believe they are all top class. We had 2 safaris per day and we saw the big 5 and a lot of other animals. Beautiful fauna and flora, trees and birds. it was a once in a lifetime experience.
