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 with 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. Enjoy a bird’s eye view from the top of Table Mountain to the sweeping vineyard valleys of the Cape Winelands. Experience diving with great white sharks or the breathtaking scenery of the Cape Peninsula.

If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, include a visit to the cobbled streets of Bo Kaap in Cape Town, with its brightly coloured 17th-century houses. Try kayaking in the naval port of Simons Town, meet local South Africans and indulge in traditional dishes, or visit a township where you're 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 a 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 program 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 offer thrilling game drives, with morning and afternoon options as well as the choice of bush walks and family drives after breakfast. Bush walks provide 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 overlooks the reserve.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
