Morukuru luxury Farm House situated in the heart of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, is set within a 100-hectare fenced-in area, which is home to general game. Farm House is only 4 hours away from Johannesburg.
Farm House is the ideal place for families and friends to enjoy the African bush at its most, offering your private staff of 8, including your own private guide and tracker, hostess, chef, butler and housekeeper, all highly skilled to make sure your needs are fulfilled.
Like all Morukuru homes, Farm House offers the Freedom Concept, which means that guests are totally free with regards to activities and the meals they prefer to enjoy. Guests can decide whatever they want to do, whenever they want, with no fixed time schedule.
Farm House is situated in a private concession in the southeast corner of Madikwe Game Reserve, located in the North West Province of South Africa.
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. 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 take some fantastic photographs.
Farm House can be reached by a daily air-shuttle from Johannesburg International Airport to Madikwe Game Reserve, the duration is approximately 50 minutes. Upon arrival at the Madikwe East airstrip, your Morukuru Team will be waiting to take you to your private villa, this will take about 30 minutes and is already your first game drive.
