Come get the dust of Africa on your feet ...
🐾 The Bush Camp is authentic, rustic, intimate and honestly affordable.

Madikwe's only authentic bush camp and genuine eco lodge Mosetlha is nestled literally at the heart of this magnificent Big 5, malaria free, 75 000 hectare Game Reserve. In addition to the Big 5, you are also offered the opportunity to experience the rare and endangered wild dog, cheetah, most other SA predators, a multitude of fat and healthy plains game and 350 bird species. Mosetlha promises you a true wilderness experience and real safari adventure. Our rates include your comfy accommodation, all meals and snacks (and tea/coffee/water), and two game drives a day. Our expert guides, Jonny and Justice, take you out in open 4x4s (4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon into the evening) throughout the rugged wilderness that is Madikwe. Come, get the dust of Africa on your feet ...

Do our game drives continue into the night? Yes, they do!
Our afternoon drive doesn't end when the sun goes down.

It currently leaves around 3.30pm (closer to 4pm in the height of summer) for around four hours exploring different corners of the reserve... With our central location allowing us to head in different directions, depending on what the bush has in store.

As the afternoon light softens, you'll pause for sundowners, stretch your legs and watch the sky change colour over the vast landscape.
Then, as daylight fades, the drive continues into the evening, when our rangers will help you spot animals that (generally...) become active after dark.

Eventually, you'll make your way back to camp, where dinner is waiting for you.

One drive, from afternoon light to the sights and sounds of the African night.

Sometimes, the best part of a safari is having nowhere else you need to be.

Between game drives, simply putting your feet up and seeing what wanders past the deck - with our new watering hole adding another reason to keep an eye on the bushveld just beyond.

Did you know? Spotted hyena cubs are born with their eyes open and a full set of tiny teeth. Starting life with attitude!

CELEBRATING NEW ADDITIONS:
If you’ve visited us before, you’ll know that our birdbaths in camp are always a popular spot for the local wildlife.

The deck has become a favourite place to sit back with a drink or a book, taking in the view, or just simply "being" (something increasingly rare in everyday life...)
Now we're bringing even more of that wild magic into view, with our latest project under way!

Just beyond the camp boundary, we’re creating a watering hole that will give guests an even better vantage point for watching the comings and goings of the local wildlife from the deck.

And it seems the word is already getting around. Even before the work is finished, this thirsty elephant has popped in for a drink!

Some occasions call for a change of scenery, and there's something special about celebrating out in the bush with the people who matter most.

Helen recently joined us to celebrate her birthday, with an evening of sundowners and a spectacular Madikwe sunset that turned the sky brilliant shades of orange and red. Not a bad way to celebrate another trip around the sun!

Planning a birthday, anniversary or get-together with friends and family? Ask us about our exclusive-use special rates and make Mosetlha the setting for a celebration to remember.

Madikwe is greening up nicely after the recent rains, including some impressive thundershowers and a hail storm!

As you can see, those dramatic afternoon showers can arrive with quite a flourish... One minute you're enjoying sundowners in the open bush, the next you're watching the rain sweep across the landscape.

Our advice? Pack for all seasons, even as the days get warmer. A light waterproof jacket, a few extra layers and something warm for the game drives.
