Gather the whole family and create everlasting memories when you opt for the 7-day trip to the malaria-free area of Madikwe Game Reserve and the city of Cape Town, where fun is always guaranteed. Take advantage of a discounted price when booking this package.

Overview

Your African journey begins as you focus on a four-day safari in Madikwe Game Reserve. Madikwe is a malaria-free reserve and although it is one of the lesser-known parks in South Africa, it is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa. During your stay at the luxurious Madikwe Safari Lodge, morning and afternoon game drives will offer the privilege of possibly seeing the Big 5 and the highly endangered African Wild Dog who thrive in this spectacular reserve.

After some phenomenal game viewing, Cape Town or better known as the “Mother City” of South Africa, welcomes you. In the heart of the city and surrounded by vibrant restaurants and cafes, the stylish apartment-style hotel of More Quarters will be your haven.

Cape Town is uniquely different with something to offer each person who visits. With a bird’s eye view from the top of Table Mountain to the sweeping vineyard valleys of the Cape Winelands. From diving with great white sharks to the breath-taking scenery of the Cape Peninsula.

If you looking for something out of the ordinary, then include a visit to the cobbled streets of Bo Kaap Cape Town with its brightly coloured 17th century houses, Kayaking in the naval port of Simons Town, meet local South African and indulge in South African dishes or visit a township where you will be sure to meet some inspiring people and learn how to cook an African meal.

This 7-day tour is a perfect combination of vibrant city life and Big 5 Safari.

This tour is ideal for couples, individuals seeking adventure and families: Children of all ages are welcome at Madikwe Safari Lodge with a special children's programme in place to entertain them.

Itinerary

Day 1 - 4: Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa

South Africa welcomes you as you arrive at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport. You will be met and taken to a nearby hangar where you will take a short charter flight to Madikwe Game Reserve. After settling into your beautifully appointed suite and meeting with your professional guide, you head out on your first exhilarating afternoon game drive. With approximately three and a half hours of off-road game driving and a sundowner experience, you head back to the lodge for an evening of outdoor dining.

The next two days welcome thrilling game drives with morning and afternoon game drives, as well as the option of bush walks and family drives after breakfast. Bush walks offer a unique experience as your senses are heightened with every twig snapping and the distinct smell of the plants and trees. In between safari activities, you are welcome to relax in your suite or out on the expansive deck that looks onto the reserve.

Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.
