“It's your private Lodge - Not just a hotel!”

There are many "hotel lodges" out there. They sleep 80 people, have 5 full packed safari jeeps and 3 restaurants. Royal Madikwe is different. It's your own private lodge. We've been there multiple times and never had to share the lodge with more than 4 people. It feels like you've just won the lottery and built your own private lodge.... More
