“Morukuru gives you the flexibility and comfort of having your own private residence in the bush, whilst affording you the luxury surroundings, service and attention to detail that you would expect from a 5 star hotel” Shelley Berkhoff, ITC Classics.
Nestled in the heart of the Malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa, on the banks of the Marico River, Morukuru is a beautifully appointed intimate bush villa, suited to small groups of friends and families looking for an exclusive-use bush retreat.
Booked on an exclusive-use basis, an exceptional team of dedicated staff will take care of your every need, and are there for your exclusive use. You will have a personal manager, ranger, chef, butler, tracker, nanny and housekeeping staff, together with a private game viewing vehicle and game ranger.
A wooden deck surrounds the perimeter of the villa and guests can recline on the sun loungers at the swimming pool, whilst sipping on a cocktail and enjoying the panoramic view of the bush.
Top class cuisine is prepared by your personal chef, who will cater for your every request at a time of your choice. Either dine indoors at the beautiful formal dining table or alfresco on the pool deck, in the shaded garden area or in the bush around the open fire set in the boma. You may like to accompany your meal by a personal wine choice taken from the extensive wine cellar.
The three spacious bedrooms each have their own private decks, air-conditioners and fans. Each bedroom has a full bathroom en-suite with the option of indulging in a foam bath or shower indoors or out. Adjacent to the three fully-equipped bedrooms is a family room with a large sofa which doubles up to provide two super-size single beds should additional accommodation be required. The family room enhances the home from home experience with recreational and office facilities including a TV and DVD, Internet and Satellite access. There is also additional accommodation at the Owners’ Lodge next door should you require it.
You will also have the flexibility of your own private game viewing vehicle and game ranger, and can schedule your own game drives at times that suit you.
A fantastic option for a larger group or a family, and one which we can thoroughly recommend.
