Safari Madikwe Mosetlha Bush Camp

Mosetlha Bush Camp

Region

Madikwe - North Western Province


General Information

Rustic and intimate, our unfenced camp – the only one of its kind in Madikwe – follows ecotourism principles and allows you and us to tread softly and responsibly in the African bush.

Managed by the North West Parks Board, together with lodge owners and local communities, Madikwe is a joint conservation venture that stimulates the local economy and benefits the people of the region. The park was founded in 1991, when the then Bophuthatswana Parks Board bought up a 750km2 area of cattle farms and launched Operation Phoenix, one of the largest game-relocation projects in history.


Restaurants

We provide simple, tasty meals, prepared in traditional bush style on the open fire. Included, too, are tea, coffee, fruit juice, rusks, fruit and snacks throughout the day and on your daily drives.

Rooms

The values upheld at the lodge are simplicity, authenticity and the conservation of our natural heritage.


The lodge has 10 cabins and can accommodate just 16 people, so is small and intimate. There are two game vehicles, driven by excellent fieldguides, Jonny Motsieloa and Justice Rasello.
