Perfect for multi-generational families or small groups, it offers the space, privacy and flexibility to create a safari experience that’s completely your own – all in a lush, malaria-free reserve famed for its Big Five sightings.
With 3 large ensuite bedrooms, plus a separate kids room, River House can accommodate a maximum of 6 adults and 4 children. Thatched roofs and light wood and stone are combined with contemporary African touches to create a welcoming home-away-from home. Leading off from the bedrooms, you’ll find a kitchen, cosy dining and living room with a fireplace. The open-plan space leads to a riverside pool, al fresco dining area, and spa sala for treatments and yoga out front, and a courtyard and boma at the back.
A wooden walkway links Morukuru River House to the 2-bedroom Owner’s House, creating a private safari hideaway for up to 14 guests when combined.
Your stay includes a full complement of dedicated staff – including a personal chef, butler, guide, tracker, host, and housekeepers – ensuring every detail is taken care of. With your own private safari vehicle and no fixed itinerary, you’ll have the freedom to create your own schedule and explore Madikwe as you wish.
Every day is tailored to your preferences – whether it’s tracking the Big Five on game drives, setting off on a guided bush walk, or simply soaking in the peaceful river views with a glass of wine. Madikwe is also home to wild dogs, cheetah, and an impressive array of bird species. Families can further enjoy fishing excursions, baking with the chef, or African drumming lessons. Unwind with a massage in the open-air sala or, for a romantic night under the stars, opt for a sleep-out in the reserve’s tucked away hide.
