Johannesburg to Madikwe & First Sunset Drive

Your private driver meets you at OR Tambo International Airport (or your Johannesburg hotel) in the morning and the road unfolds west through the Magaliesberg and the farmlands of the Groot Marico to the Botswana border, about 4.5 to 5 hours. Sip a welcome drink at Jaci's, settle into your Safari Suite and enjoy a late lunch, then, if you arrive in time, head out on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, pausing for a sunset sundowner as the bush turns gold. Back at the lodge, dinner for two awaits under the stars.

Sunrise Safari & Slow Afternoons for Two

Coffee arrives as the sky turns pink, then your guide sets off on an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle, when lion and wild dog are most active. Return for a leisurely breakfast and a lazy midday that is entirely yours: a bath with a view, a siesta in your sunken lounge, or watching elephants from your private deck. After high tea an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle follows fresh tracks into the dusk, ending with drinks around the fire.

Big Five Tracking & a Night Under the Stars

Today's early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle ventures into another corner of Madikwe's 75,000 hectares, where Kalahari sandveld meets lush bushveld and cheetah and brown hyena share the plains with the Big Five. Spend the middle of the day by the pool or book a couple's treatment (extra cost). The afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle ends with sundowners, and on clear nights the Milky Way blazes overhead for a romantic farewell dinner.

Final Morning Drive & Return to Johannesburg

Rise before dawn for a final early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle, the best light of the day and one last chance for the sightings still on your list.
