Part of Madikwe Safari Lodge, Kopano Lodge is an alluring spot for honeymooners looking for a private and romantic safari. It’s intimate – there are only four suites – and the shared lounge areas are warm, earthy and plentiful. Tuck yourself away with a book in the lounge areas, have a coffee outside on one of the decks for far-reaching views across the bushveld or request a massage on your suite’s private deck. There’s no television here either, so you can really switch off and experience the wild bush surrounds the way it was meant to be. The game drives are spectacular, with excellent Big Five game viewing in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve and sundowners to toast to the end of each day. Each of the four Suites is styled with a contemporary African design. They are all utterly secluded so it’s a dream for honeymooners. There’s an open-plan bedroom and lounge area under the high thatched roof. From the bathroom, elegant French doors lead out onto an expansive wooden deck and shaded plunge pool area, which, after a long day of game drives, is the perfect setting for you to relax and bask in the surrounding views of the reserve.
‘Lelapa’ means family, and this lodge has centred everything they do around homely service and dedicated to smaller guests looking for adventure. Part of Madikwe Safari Lodge in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, guests staying here are in for an unforgettable experience for the whole family. The comfortable living spaces are beautifully finished; there are plenty of nooks for relaxing when you’re not on one of the exhilarating twice-daily game drives with your expert guide. The outdoor pool looks out to a watering hole which regularly receives all different kinds of guests including elephants and giraffe, and the Eco House is a brilliant space for children to learn all about wildlife out in the bush. Parents can get some well-deserved rest while the little ones paint, bake cookies, learn how to track wildlife and go on scavenger hunts. The 12 Suites all have spacious outdoor viewing decks so you can make the most of your spectacular natural surroundings. There’s a contemporary African style throughout and each Suite has a wood burner, indoor and outdoor showers and a private plunge pool – a winning feature for kids. For larger families, book a Family Suite for extra space and a second children’s bedroom for room for a bunk bed.
