One of Madikwe Safari Lodge’s three lodges, Dithaba has the most incredible views overlooking the vast bush plains of the reserve. It’s perched further up on the mountainside, and has just four suites which makes it a popular option if you want an exclusive safari experience for a larger group of family or friends. From the minute you arrive, you’ll be made to feel at home by the team of staff who go out of their way to provide anything you could need – you’ll even be spoilt with a private butler, chef, ranger and safari vehicle. The rounded, thatched roof Suites are sublime. Each one is positioned to give you the best sweeping views of the bush below, with the suites opening out to a long, curved viewing deck. All have a private plunge pool, an outdoor shower and seating area with a fireplace.
‘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.
