Please communicate any special request before you arrive so that we can try to make your visit unforgettable. The Morukuru Family houses in Madikwe and De Hoop each come with a close-knit staff; a personal Chef and butler, two housekeepers, a host and at Morukuru Family Madikwe, a safari guide and wildlife tracker. Together they create your bespoke, unmatched experience.
Family travel
Morukuru Family, committed to the idea of bespoke family travel, was created by our family, for yours. We warmly welcome grandparents, parents, siblings and children of all ages. Our all-inclusive private safari houses are replete with a team of close-knit hospitality staff and a private game-drive vehicle in Madikwe Game Reserve. Together, they deliver a once-in-a-lifetime safari.
Conservation & Sustainability
Safari with a purpose defines Morukuru Family. Working together with the local communities we educate, mentor and empower the conservation of one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, Madikwe Game Reserve. Morukuru Family De Hoop and Morukuru Family Madikwe operate off-grid, using solar power alone. Combined with intelligent greywater systems, our footprint upon these fragile ecosystems remain as light and sustainable as humanly possible.
Guest testimonials
“If you are looking for a sanctuary to relax and unwind with 5-star service, this is definitely the place to stay in Johannesburg! As a hospitality veteran (both hotel and F&B) I can say this will be the only place we will stay going forward when visiting Johannesburg.”
“Athol Place is an oasis in the middle of a bustling city. After a day out visiting Johannesburg, coming back feels like returning home. The vibe is relaxed yet service is extremely attentive meeting every wish and need. The rooms are spacious, bright and comfortable. The cuisine outstanding. Whether there for business or leisure, as a couple or family the property feels like an extended home.”
“What a fantastic lodge, what fantastic staff and what a magnificent nature reserve to house this Morukuru Gem! We stayed 3 magnificent nights and could have stayed forever. Whales, Dune surfing, marine and bush trails, long cycles and walks. Food and hospitality second to none. We will certainly be going back … something we don’t often do”
“From the moment you arrive you are made to feel like part of the Morukuru family. The setting is just outstanding, and the accommodation is to match. We travelled with two young children and were very impressed when we arrived to see that the team had thought of everything – baby monitor, nappy bin, baby carrier, baby bath towel, snacks, children’s slippers and dressing gowns all waiting for us in the room.”
“The people of Morukuru are simply amazing and the one thing that I really do appreciate and value as just as important as the quality of the property and staff is their dedication to the welfare of the animals and surrounding reserve through their conservation work and their goodwill trust.”
“Staying at Morukuru Family Madikwe (Owner’s House) was an 11* experience. It’s impossible to put into words how catered and crafted every element of this trip was for us. Everything was meticulously organized, to a T. On a daily basis, we couldn’t help smiling, in partial disbelief at the sheer attention to detail and “over the top” level of service.”
