The Madikwe Reserve setting guarantees that game is plentiful.
Game Viewing
The Big 5 are local residents, as well as vast numbers of antelope, a successful wild dog breeding programme, a huge bird population and all sorts and sizes of mammals from the tiniest species up to the secretive leopard. Morukuru is a contributor to the ongoing Operation Phoenix which began in the late 1990’s. This extremely successful project sought to introduce a huge variety of game to a previously arid farming area, resulting in this amazing highly populated reserve.
Game drives are not at set times but can be planned to fit in with guest’s requirements. Experienced Morukuru guides explore the natural habitat where game sightings are most likely. Exceptional game viewing experiences are part of the magic with your own private game ranger and 4x4 game viewing the vehicle.
Bush Dining
Meals can be planned according to guest’s wishes, but the guarantee is that they will all be world class. Each of the villas have magnificent indoor dining areas as well as various outdoor options. Choose to eat on the deck, in the boma, or arrange a romantic bush meal. Whichever you prefer the chef will ensure that it will be a meal to remember.
Catering to your children’s needs is as important and could include a pizza picnic or a barbecue of fish fresh from a fishing expedition in the Marico River.
Children's Activities
Children of all ages are welcome at Morukuru, so the emphasis is clearly on warm, friendly family activities. On arrival, children are given a Morukuru Kidz Backpack containing plenty of fun things to do. They can learn about game tracking, baking, beading, scrapbooking and board games. For the more tech savvy, all units include technology in the form of computer internet access, DVD’s, Play Station and Satellite TV.
Happy children equal happy parents! For the adults there are game drives, game walks, bird watching, cooking tips from the chefs and even a romantic sleepover in a double story bird hide at Owners House.
