aha Thakadu River Camp  

On the wild edge of Madikwe Game Reserve at Molatedi Gate, this luxury river camp puts you steps from Madikwe Game Reserve and close to Tshukudu Dam and Derdepoort Gate—an ideal family-friendly base for safaris and reserve adventures.

Just 12 individually decorated guestrooms with private furnished balconies, patios or viewing decks let you soak up reserve vistas. Rooms feature separate bathtubs and showers with rainfall heads, indoor baths in some rooms, air conditioning, safes and desks, plus daily housekeeping and a cosy lobby fireplace.

Book a safari from the tour desk, unwind in the spa and massage room, or splash in indoor and outdoor pools; there’s also a bar/lounge, gift shop/newsstand and playrooms for kids—perfect for family-friendly stays and wake-up-to-sunrise-over-the-reserve mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet on the property, luggage storage, laundry services and a safe-deposit box; free self-parking is available onsite.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and buffet breakfast (available daily 8:30–10:30 for a fee), plus room service and a bar/lounge to cap off the day after game drives.
