THAKADU RIVER CAMP
Madikwe Game Reserve, North-west Province |
| Thakadu River Camp is a 24-bed tented camp designed by Chris
Rightford and Dave Gurney. The Camp is set within the riverine
canopy along the banks of the Marico River in the eastern sector
of the Madikwe Game Reserve. |
| Thakadu River Camp is a wholly-owned, Community-based Tented
Safari Camp in the Madikwe Game Reserve. The Tented Camp is an
ecotourism partnership between North-West Parks, the Molatedi
Community and the operator, The Madikwe Collection. The concept
is unique in South Africa in that the community owns the
development, with substantial benefits accruing to the community
itself. |
| The Camp comprises 12 tented suites accommodating 24 guests,
each tent with its own sliding door opening onto its own viewing
deck overlooking the Marico River. The lodge is decorated in an
‘Afro-Asian Safari” feel with the use of natural stone in the
main lodge. |
| Thakadu also has 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. |
