Madikela Game Lodge

 Madikela Game Lodge is situated in the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, 32 km outside Vaalwater on the Melkrivier Road, and a comfortable two-hour, 15-minutes drive from Pretoria. Madikela, meaning "Place of the Setting Sun", is situated on a limestone plateau which was formed millions of years ago. This limestone, which rests on a granite base, has in time eroded, forming the most amazing rock formations.

The main garden area features a large swimming pool, 18-hole minigolf, a jungle gym, and games room. Accommodation comprises six secluded, thatched, self-catering cottages, each with its own game-viewing deck, a Jacuzzi splash pool, and enclosed barbecue boma.

We stayed at the lodge for a weekend

We left early and had a very relaxed drive. This was our first visit in the area. It is a beautiful area.

We stayed in a 2 sleeper cottage.

The cottage are scattered over the farm with each having full privacy

Our unit (Kingfisher) had a sitting area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Outside was a boma, a wooden view deck and a splash pool under a thatched roof.

The lodge do not have a shop, so you need to be fully prepared and bring all your supplies. They did sell fire wood. We was not prepared and the friendly lady at reception helped us with ice until we could get our supplies the next day.

 furniture may be a bit dated and look like it was bought on an auction, but it provided whet we

 needed.

You can do game drives with your own vehicle.
