Your safari adventure begins with 3 nights at the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, where you will stay at the intimate 5 room Last Word Madikwe lodge, whose tranquil gardens are fully fenced, allowing children to roam freely and explore safely - making it perfect for first-timers or those with younger families. What's more, the garden edges onto one of South Africa's most active waterholes with prolific 'Big 5' viewing, where guests can see large herds of elephant, lions, leopard, buffalo, wild dog, white and black rhino, and many more from the comfort of their recliner, drink in hand.
Sitting at the edge of the waterhole is a unique underground hide - open to guests 24/7 and perfect to inspire young wildlife enthusiasts and budding photographers in between game drives. There's even a monthly Safari Kids video and photography competition to encourage young explorers to capture the wonders of wildlife through their lens, turning every game drive or underground hide visit into an exciting quest for that perfect shot or video.
Although children under 6 are not allowed on game drives, babysitting facilities are available
and the lodge offers the following experiences for children and under 6's within the fence line:
- Sunset Wildlife Hide Experience
- Wildlife Trail
- Pyjama Lounge with toys and games
