The newly revamped Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge is everything you want on a 5 Star luxury safari. Mineral and metallic fineishes contrast with the natural textures and coloures of the bush. Wooden walkways lit by hurricane lamps criss-cross the grounds and connect the secluded suites to the central open-plan lounge, bar, wine cellar, library and dining area up the slope, where cooling fans make slow rotations and the giant twisted trunks of leadwood trees hold up the vaulted ceiling.
