Thakadu River Camp sits on the banks of the Marico River within Madikwe Game Reserve, its canvas tents offering a more classic safari aesthetic than the reserve’s larger luxury lodges.
Canvas safari tents raised on wooden decks along the riverbank, each with an en-suite bathroom.
Hearty, well-prepared meals served communally, consistent with the camp’s classic safari character.
Game drives across Madikwe’s malaria-free reserve, targeting the Big Five and the reserve’s wild dog packs.
The riverine setting draws a steady stream of general game to drink, alongside Madikwe’s resident Big Five.
The riverside setting and canvas architecture give a more classic, textured safari look than the reserve’s contemporary lodges.
The camp supports Madikwe’s reserve-wide conservation levy, funding anti-poaching and habitat management across the reserve.
