At
the edge of the Marico River and under a grove of Tamboti
and Marula trees alike, you will find yourself enchanted
by a world of intrigue and majestic beauty. Madikwe Hills
is where the plains still team with game and the acacia
savannah symbolizes a paragon of beauty. Rhino roam freely
amongst Africa's
Big Five – Giraffe gallop across the plains at sunset and
zebra call out to one another in the early hours of the
morning, after enduring a night of the “savage beast” upon
the plains – Lion.

| .... We saw Elephants
on 97% of our drives, almost twice every
day! These animals are highly social
and sometimes one can see herds of over
a hundred strong. Guests are often lucky
enough to view elephants at the waterhole
from the comfort of their suites or
whilst having lunch on the main deck.
