Common questions
Before you book Madikwe Reserve.
Is this trip malaria-free?
Some lodges sit in malaria-free reserves (Madikwe, parts of the Cape) and others require prophylaxis (Serengeti, Okavango). We flag the malaria-risk profile clearly in your itinerary and provide a doctor's-note checklist for your GP visit pre-departure.
How does community ownership work?
Our African lodges are either fully community-owned (Madikwe, Mara Naboisho) or operate on direct lease-and-revenue-share with the host community. A line-item conservation levy on every booking goes back to the village/reserve — itemised in your invoice.
When is the best time for safari?
June through October is the dry-season prime for big-game viewing — animals concentrate around water sources and grass cover is low. November–March offers green-season pricing, lush landscapes and the dramatic Mara wildebeest calving.
