Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the few reserves in southern Africa, which is malaria free.
Located in South Africa along the Botswana border and 20 kilometres from Gaberone, the reserve lies within a transition region between Lowveld bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result the region is host to an incredible diversity of species from both ecosystems.
Geographically the region has enormous volcanic intrusions known as Inselbergs, wide open plains and the riverine environment along the Marico River in the east of the reserve. Thakadu River Camp is a wholly-owned, Community-based Tented Safari Camp within Madikwe Game Reserve.
The community has a 45-year lease to operate a commercial lodge with traversing rights across the Reserve. The concept is unique in South Africa in that the community owns the development, with substantial benefits accruing to the community itself.
Thakadu River Camp is set within the riverine canopy on the Marico on the eastern side of Madikwe and is a community owned tented camp. The 12 tented suites accommodating 24 people each with sliding doors opening onto a private viewing deck over looking the river are decorated in an ‘Afro-Asian Safari” feel with the use of natural stone in the main lodge.
There is also an 8 bed satellite camp – Little Thakadu – with its own private lounge, dining and pool area ensuring privacy and exclusivity for small groups and families. This is perfect for intimate, smaller bush weddings.
Your ceremony would either be out in the bush or on a deck overlooking the river. Your reception would be on the deck of the lodge which is open to the river. Thakadu is perfect for your bush wedding.
