Thakadu River Camp is a luxury tented game lodge set within the riverine canopy along the banks of the Marico River in the eastern sector of the game rich Madikwe Game Reserve.

Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the few reserves in southern Africa, which is malaria free. Located in South Africa along the Botswana border and 20 km from Gaberone, the reserve lies within a transition region between lowveld bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result the region is host to an incredible diversity of species from both ecosystems. Geographically the region has enormous volcanic intrusions known as Inselbergs, wide open plains and the riverine environment along the Marico River in the east of the reserve

Thakadu River Camp is an ecotourism partnership between North-West Parks, the Molatedi Community and the operator, The Madikwe Collection. 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. The main lodge, a double volume open plan, thatched building, houses the dining and living rooms with great open fireplaces, lots of space and a brilliant view of the river below. The bar and pool area is set behind this building and offers a completely different feel and view.
