The stay
One Madikwe address, several very different ways to stay
Madikwe Safari Lodge is useful when the reserve is right but the style of stay still needs choosing. Lelapa is the family-led option, Kopano and Dithaba create a smaller and more private atmosphere, and Elela is a dedicated villa for a group wanting its own space.
Who Madikwe Safari Lodge suits
It suits parties who want to choose the style of stay within one Madikwe lodge: Lelapa has the family suites, Dithaba takes guests aged 16 and over, and Elela is a three-suite villa for a private group. Guests at Kopano, Dithaba and Elela can also use Lelapa’s facilities.
