Madikwe is also home to a bird population of over 250 different species.

The décor and furnishings are Africa-inspired and the rooms are equipped with both air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Thirty rustic thatched chalets are spread out in U-formation on either side of the lodge, offering excellent views of animals approaching the water from the opposite bank. Each chalet has its own wooden deck, which allows one to experience the bush in privacy and is equipped with an en-suite bathroom and open-air shower. Each of the two corner units, on either side (and furthest away from) the lodge, have been linked with the next-door unit by a communal outdoor lounge. These chalets can be utilised for two couples traveling together or for parents with small children sharing the room. The main body of the Lodge is two-leveled and has a comfortable lounge, bar and dinning-room which are semi open-air and overlook the waterhole. A 270 square metre state-of-the-art Convention Centre, accommodating up to 150 delegates is the lodge's newest addition. The lodge is decorated with unusual African artifacts and masks. Large rugs decorate the high-ceilinged foyer and vivid animal-print fabrics brighten the settees in the upside bar.
