Overview

As an oasis of unstinting luxury in a paradise of unspoilt African bush, Morukuru offers guests the very best of both worlds.
Offering superb five-star accommodation and delectable cuisine to just one party of guests at a time, the lodge and large private reserve provide complete privacy.

Romantic, exciting night game drives to see a possible kill, day drives to watch elephants at the waterhole or lions lazing in the heat of the day, cooling dips in the refreshing infinity pool overhanging the river, or memorable meals under the stars - all add to the tranquility and excitement of the African bush at Morukuru, the ultimate, five-star deluxe South African getaway.

Game Drives – Getting You Into the Wild
Morukuru Lodge is situated on private land, a jewel in the magnificent wildlife crown that is Madikwe Game Reserve. Teeming with game and wildlife, as well as many different bird species, the Morukuru game drive experience is made more memorable by the fact that the drives are totally tailored to fit in with guests wishes & interests.

Madikwe reserve offers potential sightings of many antelope such as Sable, Gemsbok, Impala, Springbok, Kudu and Nyala. The ‘top ten’ are also there to reward the observant guest on a game drive – lion, leopard, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo, brown and spotted hyena, giraffe, wild dog and cheetah. Morukuru Lodge not only offers guests their own private game-viewing vehicle and dedicated game ranger; but also an experienced tracker to assist in tracking the animals using their extensive skills obtained through many years of living in the bush.
