Wood, stone and glass provide a seamless flow between in- and outdoors. The two huge bedrooms are stylishly decorated in natural shades, accented with bright African colours. Doors open wide onto a wrap-around deck surrounded by trees, and the combination of dappled shade and the sound of nature is deeply restorative. You can also choose to spend a night in your private elevated hide next to the water’s edge – an unforgettable way to experience life in the wild.
Inspired by 'Operation Phoenix', the Morukuru Goodwill Foundation supports wildlife conservation and community initiatives in and around Madikwe Game Reserve. Key projects include partnerships with Molatedi Village, support for local schools and nature reserves, and the 'Safaris with a Purpose' project. Additionally, the 'Pack for a Purpose' initiative encourages travellers to bring supplies for community projects. A contribution of $5,20 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
