Morukuru River House

The impact of your stay:

Each stay at Morukuru River House contributes essential conservation fees to safeguard the biodiverse area of Madikwe Game Reserve. Over the past decade, the River House has led key conservation initiatives such as wildlife collaring, darting, monitoring, and relocations, ensuring a sustainable future for the reserve. Embracing a collaborative approach, they actively participate in local projects like Project Cheetah, Project Elephant, Project Lions, Project Rhino, Project Wild Dogs, Project Hyena, and fund the Predator Management program within Madikwe. Through their non-profit Morukuru Goodwill Foundation, the lodge aids anti-poaching teams in the park by providing trail cameras and necessary equipment. The illegal wildlife trade poses a significant threat to animals in South Africa’s national park, especially the big five: elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. Preventing poaching is crucial for ensuring the survival of these species within the reserve. Their foundation also supports a local school in Molatedi Village. Their assistance has contributed to infrastructure development, provision of equipment, installation of recycling stations, construction of a greenhouse and the provision of skills workshops.
