Madi-Madi Karoo Safari Lodge

Tucked in Dysseldorp between the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains, Madi-Madi Karoo Safari Lodge sits in one of South Africa’s most biodiverse pockets. The lodge is about 12 km from the town centre and is a perfect base for safari and nature escapes.

Cottages and suites feel a bit suspended in time, with interiors that match the stunning mountain and bush views from windows and balconies. Many rooms offer private moments and the option for in-suite dining, and the property is accessible via an elevator for guests with mobility needs.

Take a dip in the clear pool, unwind at the bar, or relax by the water after a day on a bush drive. The lodge runs guided bush drives, horseback safaris and nature walks among buffalo, giraffe, zebra and more than 200 bird species—so you can wake up to birdsong and wide-open skies. On-site parking is available.

Taste authentic South African cuisine in the imposing dining room, poolside, or served privately in your suite. The on-site restaurant and bar keep things local and flavorful after a long day on safari.
