As we enter the season of Autumn there is a significant drop in temperature and the Tourism associations are now using this gap to go out and promote their product by arranging a few tourism exhibitions. |

Our local economic Development department together with the North West Parks and Tourism Authority took several Entrepreneurs to this Year’s Indaba event for product promotions. Buffalo Ridge was also represented. |

Game Viewing
Madikwe is already known for its good game viewing rewards, like this group of Kudus at the Mineral hot–spot located just below the Inselbergs. It is common to find several antelopes licking the soil in this area to supplement their minerals.

We did it again!!!
Bush dinner for the Scottish Life group with entertainment galore.
Tshepo and Julia (buffalo Ridge chefs enjoyed the bit as well)
We have been successfully hosting this big group for three years
with “Club Excel“ which we share amongst three Madikwe Collection
lodges, (Tuningi, Motswiri and Buffalo Ridge). We have a good
relationship with them already and each year they bring gifts
for the school kids. These gifts really help as they include
writing and reading materials.
