Guest reviews Aha Thakadu River Camp, Madikwe

Delightful place

It was a wonderful three day getaway. Thakadu River Camp is a delightful place tucked right in the Madikwe Game Reserve. The service is excellent. The luxury tents are well appointed, clean, comfortable. Good electric sockets to charge your devices and cameras. The guides are so enthusiastic and informative. Thank you guides Vincent and Billy. A tip - Do ask for a tent close to the reception or you will need to walk and walk to reach.

The most amazing wedding anniversary experience

We were blown away with the service and treatment received at Thakadu, all we can say is wow! The team could not do enough to ensure our stay was memorable, Sipho was an absolute star escorting us every night and ensuring we were safe and happy. Billy our Ranger, all I can say is hold onto this gem, how he managed to find the game we saw was unbelievable, he even had rangers from other camps thanking him for the sightings. How anyone can spot a chameleon on the dark whilst driving and shining the spot light is beyond me considering the size and yip Billy managed to do that. The lodge staff were very pleasant and accommodating, we could not have wished for a better 21st wedding anniversary getaway.

Fantastic service!!!!!

Fantastic service!!!!! My wife and I was at Thakadu River Camp for our honeymoon. The staff is extremely friendly and the game drives where great with very friendly rangers that went out of their way to find the animals we loved. The facilities was very clean. The staff surprised us with a romantic room for our honeymoon with no trouble and the food was out of this world. Thakadu we would like to thank you, we recharged our batteries with nature. This lodge is great and with staff that greets you with a smile always helps. We apricate your services and will definitely be back again. We can’t recommend this lodge enough.

Spoiled at Thakadu River Camp

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff all around! We were treated like royals and felt so spoiled. Excellent food and game drives with a knowledgeable, passionate game ranger made for a very special bush experience. Everything was well organised and we were able to relax and rest.

Wonderful experience

Our trip to Thakadu was an excellent exprerience. We visited during level 3 lockdown and the whole team were very respectful of rules and regulations and made our stay both safe and enjoyable. The staff take great pride in the lodge and service which adds to the experience. I would definitely recommend.
