How These Packages Compare to Standard Madikwe Game Reserve Prices

Travellers often search for Madikwe Game Reserve prices to get an idea of what a luxury safari might cost — and while nightly rates at a 5-star lodge like Madikwe Hills typically reflect the exclusivity and exceptional service on offer, these Stay-Pay packages provide substantial added value.

For context (rates as of May 2025):
Standard luxury safari rates in Madikwe range from R9,000 to R15,000 per person per night, depending on the season.

With the Stay 6, Pay 5 and Stay 8, Pay 6 offers, you’re essentially receiving up to 2 nights free, which can result in a saving of R18,000 to R30,000 per couple or more.

If you’re comparing Madikwe prices to Sabi Sand or Kruger, these bundled itineraries make the decision easy: you can have it all — at a fraction of the usual cost.

Booking Tips & Seasonal Savings

These packages are valid for travel between 6 Jan and 31 May, and 1 November to 20 December – making them ideal for winter wildlife viewing or a summer safari escape before the festive season rush.

Pro tip: Book well in advance, especially for November dates, as availability across all three lodges is limited and demand is high during these value-rich windows.

Whether you choose the Bush Trilogy or Bush Duo, your journey will be effortlessly managed by the Seasons in Africa team, ensuring:

• Easy inter-lodge transfers
• Tailored itineraries
• All-inclusive comfort from start to finish
