Nothing we could fault ... only wonderful memories to keep!
Hi Clare, We're still in SA but to say we had a memorable experience at Madikwe is an understatement. Although we were only there for one night, and for one evening and one morning safari, we were so lucky to see what we did.
Firstly the whole Fedair treatment was first class. Staff, pilots, facilities all superb and made you feel very welcome and looked after. A number of people we had spoken to had driven into the reserve from Pretoria/Joburg and it was a long drive - they wished they had been aware of the Fedair flights.
Madikwe Hills - the lodge was fantastic. Everything we could have imagined. It all felt so very personal and private. Luxurious with every facility/requirement catered for. The staff were extremely helpful and we will be sure to provide them with excellent feedback on our return via tripadvisor etc.
The safari, drivers and spotter - wow, they went the extra mile. We were lucky to see a great many animals on our first drive except lions. The next morning our driver rallied round other drivers out in the area, eventually they went on foot tracking the lion footprints and.....they ran back to the vehicle to announce they had found two adult males for us and we managed to see them up close. The drivers answered all our questions and gave us a wealth of knowledge.
A huge thank you to you for recommending this lodge and for putting together a fantastic package for us. There is nothing we could fault and have only wonderful memories to keep.
