Morning and afternoon game drives reveal the spectacular wildlife that can be seen in the area. These are offered in open 4x4 vehicles each accommodating a maximum of seven people allowing each guest a "window" seat.
Night drives with spotlights allow you to find those nocturnal animals you wouldn’t see during normal daytime drives. Porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.
Walking in the wilderness is a wonderful way of being even closer to nature, observing the smaller creatures and flora you miss when travelling by vehicle. Our expert guides welcome the opportunity to share their bushlore adventures ...
* Seasonal and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide.
Experience the Okavango Delta waterways at eye-level, gliding along in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) which has been used by generations for transport in the region where there are many more serene channels than roads. This excursion is perfect for spotting tiny reed frogs or larger pods of hippos in the deeper water.
* Water levels permitting.
Discover by boat and search for water-loving wildlife further afield. Good game viewing in the channels further away from camp often yield fabulous sightings of hippos and crocodiles, and maybe even the rare sitatunga.
* Water levels permitting.
Fishing with a limited supply of basic equipment is on offer seasonally on a catch-and-release basis.
* Note that fishing is seasonal as it is prohibited by Botswana law in January and February due to breeding purposes.
The mix of habitat ensures a variety of birdlife to be seen, from flocks of endangered wattled crane and glimpses of the rare lesser jacana on the eastern side, to Meyer’s parrots and Dickinson’s kestrel in the west.

Jamala Madikwe Royal Safari Lodge | Madikwe Game Reserve
26 Nov 2019 - 29 Nov 2019
Jamala is the Swahili word for "natural elegance". Elegant (adj.) - is defined as "graceful and stylish; pleasantly ingenious and simple".
Safari is another Swahili word that means "journey" or "to travel", but has come to mean so very much more. Imbued with a sense of the exotic, more typically a sense of Africa, the word safari has today become symbolic of something far more romantic; it evokes images of adventure and stylish indulgence.
The malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve is a 75 000 ha region of untamed beauty located in South Africa's North West. This wild terrain boasts a tapestry of landscapes that encompasses vast open plains, dense bushveld and towering rocky peaks. All of which offers sanctuary to a kaleidoscope of creatures, including the "Super Seven".
Tradition and eccentricity are tastefully united in an atmosphere that knows no equal. Jamala Madikwe reflects a classic sense of style that is sufficiently robust to match the savage beauty that lies beyond
