aha Thakadu River Camp

Thakadu River Camp is an Eco-tourism partnership between North-West Parks, the Molatedi Community and the operator, The Nature Workshop. The community has a 45-year lease to operate a commercial lodge with traversing rights across the Madikwe Game Reserve. The concept is unique in South Africa in that the community owns the development, with substantial benefits accruing back to the community itself.

Thakadu River Camp is set within the riverine canopy along the banks of the Marico River and consists of 12 tented suites, each with their own viewing deck overlooking the river. The tents are spacious and are superbly decorated and appointed. The core of this project's success lies in its prime location: the Madikwe Game Reserve. This area is located along the Botswana border and 20km from Gaberone, one of the few reserves in southern Africa which is malaria free.

    "We stayed at Thakadu River Camp for 3 nights, and it was a very nice, relaxing experience. The food was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. Our game ranger also had a vast knowledge of the bush and went out of his way to show us Madikwe."

    "My husband and I had a wonderful time at Thakadu. The staff were very caring and made sure that we were well looked after at all times. Andre took us on really long game drives and did his best to find what we were looking for - not always possible. The room staff not only cleaned, but tried to keep us tidy as well! And the food - top class gourmet. Your chefs could work in Paris. The fittings and feeling of the place were absolutely in keeping with the game park."
