Welcome to our enchanting wild world in the heart of Southern Africa, where your journey at the Royal Madikwe begins with a sincere “Ke a go bona”, a traditional Tswana greeting that means “I see you.”
You immediately feel that it is more than just words. It is an invitation to share in our world; to be seen and understood in return. Our team wholeheartedly embodies this sentiment, making every guest feel like family in our African home.
A CELEBRATION OF TOGETHERNESS
The world as you know it slowly transforms as you awaken to the true meaning of togetherness that is so authentically rooted in the people of Africa. It’s not only the unforgettable immersion into the natural world, the authentic luxury, or the wholesome organic culinary delights; it is the warm welcoming nature of the people here that truly makes it special.
INDULGE IN THE ESSENCE OF AFRICAN FLAVOURS
Discover the richness of African cuisine as our culinary team weaves together the freshness of ingredients from our organic home grown produce with diverse, vibrant flavours true to South African cultures and traditions.
Each creation is thoughtfully paired with the most delectable South African wines in a complimentary fusion of flavours enhancing this unique dining experience in the company of Africa's great giants ~ the magestic African Elephants.
There is something truly magical about sharing a meal with your loved ones while surrounded by the flurry of wildlife that inhabit this pristine wilderness destination.
Our African culture is a celebration of togetherness and one of our absolute favorite ways to bring our guests together is under a veil of stars, around a crackling wood fire in our boma, inviting you to share in an invigorating lesson in the art of African drumming. The sounds of Djembe drums set your heart alight as you experience the pure joy that comes from joining together in a unique collaboration of song, sound and culture.
Music plays an important role in our African culture, connecting people through singing and instrumental collaboration, forging a stronger bond and bringing people in the community closer together.
The name Djembe stems from the saying “Anke djé, anke bé”, translating to “everyone gather together in peace”, which so aptly describes the very purpose of this instrument.
