After a hearty breakfast, the group will head out via private transfer to Madikwe. This drive is approximately 4.5hrs long, but there will be a leg-stretch / toilet break halfway.

Our eta at Madikwe is early afternoon, just in time to get settled in, refreshed and have a bite to eat before heading off on the first game drive!

Each day follows the same schedule, where we will be up and departing for our morning game drives just before sunrise. Game drives last around 3-3.5hrs but times are flexible depending on what we are seeing.

Breakfast is ready upon our return, and then the rest of the day is your own time. Whether it's relaxing in your room, taking a dip in the pool, basing yourself in the hide or working with Sam to elevate your photography - you'll find this in-between time flies by just as fast as the game drives!

We meet together for a light lunch / high tea before heading off on our afternoon game drive, which will see us returning back to the lodge at night in hopes for some nocturnal animals. Dinner is served upon our return when we're ready.

We depart Madikwe late morning, making sure we get a final morning game drive and delicious breakfast. We aim to get back to Johannesburg airport for approximately 15:30 - 16:00, but naturally it also depends on traffic. 

Once back at OR Tambo, we will say our goodbyes and depart ways.
