Perched high on a hilltop near to the Botswana border in the Madikwe Game Reserve, the small and intimate Rockfig Madikwe offers luxury accommodation with magnificent views of the African wilderness.
With only four private villas, the lodge offers an intimate experience. Each villa is equipped with a boma - perfect for the private “braai” (barbeque) experience - and private plunge pool. From its perch, the lodge offers “The Cliff”, an extraordinary lookout point perfect for taking in the Madikwe Game Reserve and enjoying sundowners after experiencing the Super Seven safari – Big Five (including white and black rhino), as well as wild dog and cheetah.
One-bedroom Villas:
Tshukudu Villa
Featuring a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, large patio, private boma and panoramic views of the Madikwe Plains, the villa is perfect for couples looking for a romantic and intimate getaway.
Nare Villa:
The “buffalo” villa perched on the cliffs, makes for a beautiful couples retreat. Enjoy views of the plains, bushveld and nearby waterhole - where buffalo have been known to stop for a refreshing drink - from the comfort of the private patio. Similar to the Tshukudu Villa, Nare features a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, large patio and private boma.

Book your trip with Mel at Safari.com!
I had the most amazing experience with Mel helping to plan the trip of a lifetime for us to Africa! I had struggled to get responses or clear advice from several other travel agencies and was trying to piece together an itinerary myself. Mel was a breath of fresh air, promptly offering to help plan our entire trip. We had a full itinerary mapped out within a day, which we requested some tweaks to and these were easily accommodated. And Mel reassured us and put our concerns around safety and comfort at bay with her incredible first hand knowledge of the destinations.

Super star Mel
Mel our booking agent has been absolutely fantastic. Nothing has been too much trouble for her no matter what time of day & how big or small our enquiry has been. She was brilliant when having to relocate us from Kruger due to the flooding, it was seamless from our end.
