Activities

Whether you want to capture priceless images of wildlife from the center of the watering hole, or sit quietly, immersing yourself in your surroundings, you can do it at the Terrapin Hide. The Terrapin Hide  is a submerged, water level aquatic hide that is accessible to all of our guests, 24 hours a day, via under water tunnel. Visited by a wide variety of mammals and birds alike, you can sit quietly and watch the animals coming down to drink as if you weren’t even there. Also learn to walk in the wild in the Madikwe Game Reserve with your senses finely tuned to every sound and smell. Accompanied by an expert walking-trails guide from Jaci’s Lodges, you’ll explore parts of Madikwe on foot. You may not see many of the larger animal species, but you will learn so much more about the relationship between flora and fauna in the African bush, making it an unforgettable experience, for all your senses.
