About The Lodge & The Reserve

Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge, situated in the heart of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, is ingeniously set amongst boulders and age-old Tamboti trees, and offers visitors the utmost in luxury and hospitality. Madikwe Hills is where the plains still team with game and the acacia savannah symbolizes a paragon of beauty. Black Rhino roam freely amongst the BIG 5 - Giraffe gallop across the plains at sunset and zebra call out to one another in the early hours of the morning, after enduring a night of the "savage beast" upon the plains - Lion.

Traversing over 75,000 hectares of true, untamed Africa and set in magnificent koppies amongst boulders, Madikwe Hills gently ebbs to the pulse of Africa's drumbeat - The luxurious suites are ingeniously placed amongst the boulders. The unusual, yet subtle decor integrates natural elements with colours highlighting Africa's ambiance.

After a mere 45 minute flight from Gauteng, or a scenic four/five hour drive, you will be met by warm and friendly staff in the main reception area. It is here where you can select gifts for your friends and family back home from the curio shop, which boasts a breath-taking view of the boulders and rocks of MADIKWE HILLS. Open land rovers with bucket seats and fold-down armrests stand ready to take you on safari. Your knowledgeable ranger with his friendly disposition, will ensure that your experiences are not but a "whisper on the winds of a timeless eternity".

The 10 large and luxurious suites have been designed for complete relaxation and comfort, each boasting soft sofas, voluptuous mosquito netting and cotton picot linen. Overhead fans and air-conditioning are a welcome respite from the harshness of the African heat. Salute the timelessness of Africa with a gin & tonic from your fully stocked mini bar. In addition the suites come complete with private plunge pools, under-floor heating, mini-bar, fire places, outside showers, and great views.

For the energetic Madikwe Hills offers a fully equipped gym and health spa. For the businessman, Internet connection! Children of all ages are most welcome and are accommodated with their own game activities and where needed, Nannies can be arranged to babysit.

There is a library full of verse and history awaiting those yearning for knowledge of the African continent. Fables of Scorpio and Orion may be told by your ranger of Greek mythology, whilst dining in a rustic boma where dramatic and exotic flames dance to the uneven beat of life's drum. Perhaps you will discover the navigational skills of the Southern Cross before dining in the sophistication of silverware. Breakfast on the deck is an absolute must!

The utter dedication and passion of the team at Madikwe Hills ensure that every guest departs with a memory of an African safari never to be forgotten...

Directions

• From Rustenburg (N4) follow signs to Zeerust
• In Zeerust take a right turn at the ABSA bank in Main Street approximately in the middle of town, towards Gaborone/Madikwe. Refuel here as there is no fuel in the Madikwe Reserve
• After approximately 85 kms you will see the "Abjaterskop" Entrance into the Reserve
• Once you enter the Park there is about 32 km of dirt road to the Lodge.
• Ask for a map with directions at the gate.
  • Follow the signs to Pretoria and N1 PIETERSBERG
  • After approx 36 kms you will see big signs over the highway - you need to follow the direction N1 PIETERSBERG turn onto this highway, (you are now travelling in a northerly direction) - go for quite a while.
  • You will see signs for a toll road called Bakwenya Platinum Highway N4 Rustenberg. Take this toll road.
  • Once on the N4 continue in the Rustenberg direction - take exit #225 which is the R556 Sun City/Majakaneng
  • Turn right at the top of the off ramp to Sun City and continue straight to Sun City (approx 73 kms to Sun City from this off ramp). After passing Sun City on the right, continue straight (approximately 5 km) until you reach a four-way junction
  • Turn right to DERDEPOORT.
  • Follow the road for approximately 8 kms and turn left at the sign saying, "BAPONG".
  • Continue straight along this road (ignoring ALL signs saying "MADIKWE") after passing through MABESKRAAL at the 4 way junction/stop turn right to DERDEPOORT onto the new tarred section of the road.
  • After 26kms the road will become gravel/dirt, the Dwarsberg Liquor Store will be on your left. Watch out for a “bump” as the tar ends.
  • Continue straight along this road for about 32 km of gravel, (do not take the next Derdepoort turning to the right, continue straight), passing through the Molatedi village over the Marico River and straight to the MOLATEDI GATE entrance into the Park. .


Option 2 : Johannesburg via Sun City to the Molatedi Gate
This route normally takes 3,5 hours from Johannesburg. However, from July 2006 for an uncertain period, it will take 45 minutes longer due to roadworks.

The gravel road on this route makes it a little bumpy but not impassable in a sedan vehicle. This route is shorter than the route through Zeerust, but not our first recommendation, as it is partially gravel. It is advisable to fill up with fuel at the Sun Village, just after the Sun City entrance on the right as there is no fuel available inside the reserve.
Daily scheduled flights from O.R. Tambo International Airport. Private charters are available on request. Road transfers available on request.
