Madikwe

The lodge offers 3 different types of accommodation:

Lelapa (meaning "family")

Kopano (meaning "small gathering")

All are set overlooking the hills and plains of the malaria-free Madikwe game reserve. Each "lodge" has its own lounge and dining area, giving you the exclusive feel of a lodge within a lodge. African artwork, traditional lamps and artefacts give a real authentic sense of the bush. The rooms are in thatched villas have a private deck with outdoor shower, plunge pool and views across the reserve. Wood-burning fireplaces for cool nights, air conditioning and ceiling fans for when it's hot.

Rooms at Dithaba Lodge are set further up the mountains and have some of the best views over the plains, while those at Kopano Lodge have a more private, exclusive feel.

Other Options

Set amongst shady trees on the banks of the Kunene River, the lodge is one of the most remote camps in southern Africa. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of rushing water, while by day you explore one of the driest deserts in the world.

Activities here are varied, including boating (water levels permitting), walking, viewing breathtaking landscapes, as well as carefully guided quad-bike excursions that tread lightly on the dunes. In this isolated region, the Himba people continue their nomadic, traditional way of life and when in the area, guests can meet them and learn about their lifestyle and traditions.

The camp comprises seven ultra-spacious canvas en-suite rooms under thatch. Each has been built on a wooden deck, with elevated walkways linking them to the main area. The view from each suite is spectacular, overlooking the Kunene River and mountains of Angola.
These include a comfortable sunken seating area, an extra-large bed with a canopy and netting, and indoor and outdoor showers. The large deck is ideal for private dining or simply unwinding and soaking in the sights and sounds of this unique wilderness.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.

This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.

Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.

Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
