Breathtaking Landscapes
Sprawled over 6000 hectares of grassy African plains, Madikelo Lodge offers magnificent views and captivating landscapes. The natural landscape consists of gently undulating savanna grassland, Karoo scrub and Karoo vegetation, punctuated here and there by flat-topped mountains.
​
Relax and watch the African sunset, or gaze at the starry Karoo nightsky.
