Safari Drumming - Madikwe
What would an African safari be, without the typical sound of African drums beating at night? Now is your chance to master the rhythm and send a powerful message out the bush, to rival the roar of the African lion.

A true Safari Drumming master will teach you and your family how to play the drums, starting with the basics, but taking it a step further as well. Sitting around the fire you will not only play the drums together, but you will also listen to some wonderful stories about the various tribes of South Africa. This will certainly be an evening to remember and one thing is for sure, after the session your hands will be warm!

Sandboarding - De Hoop
The towering white sand dunes of De Hoop Nature Reserve are a well-known landmark in the park and a huge playground for children and adults alike.

One of the most popular and fun things to do when staying at Morukuru Ocean Dream is to go sandboarding. Take a short 20 minute walk from the house through the surrounding fynbos and along the beach and you will find yourself surrounded by the high and pure white sand dunes, offering wonderful vistas of the Indian Ocean.

Grab one of the Morukuru Family branded boards and start sliding down! Depending on your skills and bravery there are various slopes, from gentle to quite steep. Experience the speed and the exhilarating thrill of riding these big dunes and when you had enough fun, grab a cold drink and a snack and take in the endless views of the coastline and the Indian Ocean. And maybe, you are lucky enough to spot whales and dolphins whilst sipping your drink.

Hide - Madikwe
The Morukuru hide is set next to the waters edge and protected by an electric fence. Provided with a spot light a sleepover at the hide is perfect for the daring to spend a night in the wild.

For a romantic evening with a partner or for family members and friends a magical experience of being left alone in the a vast plain where the wildlife roam free, in perfect comfort, yet surrounded by the African wilderness is not to be missed.

For those less daring an evening stop at the hide during game drive is a sublime spot to look up at the sparkling night sky and star gaze.

Water fun - Madikwe
Just outside the Madikwe Game Reserve Park, at the local Molatedi Dam, our Morukuru boat awaits you, ready for you to enjoy an afternoon of water fun. Be it fishing, water skiing or soaking up the sun there is something for the whole family.

It is a full day excursion including the delights of a scrumptious lunch prepared by your private chef, relaxing at the waters edge whilst drinking an ice cold drink, digging your toes into the sand, reading your favourite book, or for the super eager jumping straight in and relishing in the water activities of the day.

As the sun sets across the dam, painting the sky with indescribable beauty, enjoy quiet sundowners as you cruise across the dam before heading back into Madikwe to your very own safari home.

Note: this excursion is seasonal and weather dependant.

Fishing Safaris - Madikwe
Experience the thrill of catching your own fish and then setting it free again.

Going on Morukuru Fishing Safaris at the Marico River, that runs through the Madikwe Game Reserve, which is the largest natural source of water in the province, pumping one million litres per day: the river is clean and the fishing is good, though as any fishermen knows, patience will be required!

Species you may encounter at the end of your line include Yellow Fish, Catfish, Bream, Eel, Paper Mouth, Three Spot Tilapia and Carp. If you (or your younger guests) have never tried their hand at fishing before, your ranger is on hand to provide guidance.

Local Dancers - Madikwe
The patter of feet, clapping of hands and the joyous dance movements executed with grace and joy by our local dancers is a captivating sight. The dancers are selected from the nearby primary school of Molatedi Village, one of our nearest community partners.

The Morukuru Family, strives to support and encourage this local community at every given opportunity. The school children who perform the richly colorful and entertaining dances, provide such an occasion for our visitors to also support and encourage these talented youngesters through a small contribution.

Birdwatching - Madikwe
Madikwe's landscape is simply magical, and its varied biomes home to more than 350 species of birds, including many interesting raptors.

From the cool dawn chorus to the dramatic shrieking of Nightjars in the dusk, the birdsong alone is wonderful; spotting the exotic beauty of birds like the Carmine Bee-eater and Lilac-breasted Roller may turn even amateurs into "twitchers". Game drives are certainly enriched when guests show a keen interest and appreciation in the birdlife.

On request your staff can set up a romantic starlit sleepover at the Morukuru bird hide, providing you with an elevated vantage from which to view the dawn.
The best way to go Birdwatching.

Bushwalks - Madikwe
Traversing the reserve in a comfortable safari vehicle allows one to cover thousands of kilometers in search of exhilarating game sightings, but for a true taste of Africa nothing beats being on foot in the midst of the wilderness.

On a bushwalk you smell, see and hear so much more, and getting up close and personal with insects and plants, with a ranger explaining their survival techniques, can be fascinating (such as the Acacia robusta's ability to let off a stinky pheromone when it senses an animal grazing on its leaves!).

Bushwalks in Madikwe are not for the fainthearted however ? you are on foot in a wilderness area where predators roam free. You are of course protected by the presence of your fully armed ranger and the bush knowledge of your tracker, but to be on the safe side children under the age of 16 may not participate in bush walks and for those over the ages of 60 require a doctor's certificate of good health.

Alternatively a stroll through the near by 100 hectare fenced in area home to general game can be enjoyed by the entire family subject to availabily. Bush walks are also limited to a maximum of eight people.
Note: Bushwalks at Ocean Dream do not require armed guides and are open to all ages with no limit on numbers.

Game Drives
Hop onto your private vehicle at a timing of your choosing and head out for the ultimate safari adventure.

With your personal experienced guide and tracker enter the beauty of Madikwe home to the Big 5, Wild Dogs, 350 bird species and other wonders. Every game drive is equipped with a variety of snacks and drinks so on crisp mornings watch the sunrise whilst wrapping your fingers around a hot drink and be in awe of the nature that surrounds you.

For evening game drives enjoy the sunset that engulfs the African skies revealing a sheath of colour and warmth with a gin and tonic in hand. As the only guests on the vehicle, game drives are tailored to your preferences.
Note: Not available at Ocean Dream
