Once in a while, we need to reacquaint ourselves with Mother Nature and its surfeit beauty. The world is a vast place of limitless wonders and gems. More often, people would go and explore the beauty of nature; they go hiking on mountains, visit famous landmarks, go camping on forests and take pictures above impressive edifices. Without a doubt, these places have unparalleled beauty you would not wish to miss. What most people are missing is the adventure that lies in the center of those mountains and forests they hike and beyond the walls of those landmarks and edifices they visit. There is a whole different world that is undeniably awesome. If you think that the eight wonders of the world are a vacation must-have before you die, then, think again.
The Madikwe Game Reserve
Wildlife parks are on a different level. These parks give more meaning to what you call an ultimate Mother Nature adventure. Visiting museums, libraries, and other known structures may be informative, hiking or camping may be physically and emotionally satisfying, but in all candor, you can experience all these by simply going to a wildlife reserve. It is not just informative or physically and emotionally fulfilling but also interactive.
Madikwe Game Reserve is a perfect place to go. Perfectly beautiful is not a parlance to exaggerate the reserve to seemingly entice travelers. It is by context and essence a haven on earth. It is a 75,000 hectares reserve home to Africa’s big five which includes the lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos. The reserve also boasts a huge wild dog reserve, a habitat of over 300 bird species, showcases a spectacular game viewing and offers full board lodges.
There is quite a number of lodges that you can choose from depending on what you desire. The lodges offer you comfort and security but not all can offer you a home to stay. There is so much to do in Madikwe Game Reserve and your two-day stay would not be enough. You will have to stay longer than that. There is so much to do and you need a place to stay. One of these places is a five-star rating Madikwe Dithaba Lodge.
Madikwe Dithaba Lodge
Dithaba got its name from a Tswana word which means mountain. It is fitting to be called as such because the Madikwe Dithaba Lodge is located up on a mountain and offers a spectacular view stretching far and wide over the Madikwe Game Reserve. In addition to breath-taking views over expansive plains, Madikwe Dithaba Lodge is family-friendly and malaria-free which means that you can enjoy your stay without fearing of getting such disease from mosquitoes. The lodge has a close proximity to the diverse wildlife in the game reserve. Everyone will have easy access to the roaming wildlife.

One major feature of the Madikwe Dithaba Lodge is that it can be reserved exclusively for a family or group to enjoy, making Dithaba Lodge an excellent venue for plush intimate wedding parties.

Just a friendly heads-up though, since the place is located up a mountainous area, the lodge is not suitable for travelers with disability.
Activities To Enjoy
Activities include game drives, bush walks, village tours, and bird watching excursions. There are two game drives daily with FGASA qualified Field Guide who shall demonstrate and explain how to safely interact in the wild. Wildlife lectures will also take place. Game drives are conducted twice a day through private safari vehicles available for a maximum number of eight guests per vehicle. It should be a long interactive and fun safari.
If you want to go closer and stop-by from time to time you can also enjoy the bush on foot. Nothing beats a journey on foot they say. It is not only experiential but also worthwhile. You can be as detailed as you want to be in looking at the wildlife. After a whole day tour, you will be treated to a Safari Sundowners to provide relief to everyone. Drinks will be overflowing, a party will be conducted, dinner must be exemplary and an African music will be played to complete the whole African-theme vacation.
