Family fun at Madikwe Safari Lodge

If there’s a lodge that embraces family through and through, it’s Madikwe Lelapa Lodge. The word ‘Lelapa’ literally translates to 'family', so there’s no hiding their natural affinity for guests of all ages. Ideally located within South Africa’s malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, guests can enjoy memorable Big 5 wildlife encounters as well as the lodge’s luxurious facilities.

Madikwe Game Reserve’s 76,000ha expanse is found in the North West Province bordering Botswana. A typical day in the life of a guest at Lelapa Lodge includes game drives and exhilarating bush walks with expert game rangers who are eager to show guests the wonders of the great outdoors. Community village tours are also on offer as are birdwatching excursions. Meals are enjoyed in the bush or at the boma—and a romantic starlit dinner is not to be missed. 

The Deluxe Suites at Lelapa Lodge not only boast indoor and outdoor showers, but wood-burning fireplaces, private plunge pools, and some have adjoining rooms for the little ones, too. There is also a communal pool, free Wi-Fi, babysitting facilities, and plenty of children’s activities on offer.
