Morukuru Homes is a great concept, offering three private villas within the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. The idea of the Morukuru Homes is to offer guests a private accommodation to get together with family and or friends, having their own private home with all the comfort they need. The villas come with their own private staff of 7 or 8, including chef, butler, housekeeping, hostess and guide.

The Freedom Concept they offer provides you with a unique gift of doing “whatever you want, whenever you want”. The way you and your loved-ones want to spend your holiday is completely up to you and the Morukuru team looks after the rest.

Madikwe Game Reserve is currently the fifth largest game reserve and is also one of the lesser- known parks in South Africa. This makes it a hidden-gem as it is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa and offers the Big 5 in a 75.000 hectare.
The land where Madikwe now stands was previously used as farming land. The poor soil meant that farming was mostly unsuccessful and the South African government then decided that it would best be used as a national park to help economically uplift the disadvantaged area.

It is situated against the Botswana border close to the Kalahari Desert. It is roughly 3.5 hours in a car from Johannesburg/ Pretoria. Safari Lodges are mostly located around the eastern and western gate.

Madikwe Game Reserve is home to the big five – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard, amongst 66 mammal species like giraffe, hippo, cheetah and hyena, and you are also likely to spot some of them during your game drives, as well as the highly endangered African Wild Dog. In 1994 a small pack of six wild dogs where introduced into the park and today, despite of all odds, Madikwe has a thriving wild dog population with three hunting packs roaming in the park. The dogs are somewhat used to game vehicles, which gives you a great opportunity to see them and bring some fantastic photographs home.

The Madikwe Game Reserve has tar and gravel roads and most of the time a 2x4 vehicle are able to make their way through the park, as a self-drive safari is also possible.

Madikwe Game Reserve can be reached by road and air. The drive from Johannesburg up to Madikwe will take you approximately 3,5 hours’, Gaborone airport is only 28 kilometres away, Madikwe also has a 1200 metre airstrip for use by private aircrafts.
