Morukuru Family Madikwe - Madikwe Game Reserve

Tucked beneath the leafy canopy of an ancient Morukuru (Tamboti) tree, on the banks of the fabled Marico River is Morukuru Owner’s House in the Madikwe Game Reserve. The experienced staff, host and guide team at this private safari house deliver a decadent malaria-free safari of a lifetime in South Africa.
Morukuru Owner’s House operates sustainably off-grid using solar power.

Morukuru Owner’s House blends contemporary European style with African individualism. Explore the well-stocked wine cellar, intimate library and digital entertainment collection at your leisure. Wi-Fi is available.

Minimalist design imbued with elements of natural wood and stone invites inside-outside living. A wooden walkway links Morukuru Owner’s House and Morukuru River House. When twinned, they transform into an epic safari escape.

We’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.

From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.

Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.

Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.
