A quiet suite between two Madikwe safaris

Etali Safari Lodge brings a restful lodge stay to a wildlife-focused overnight journey in Madikwe Game Reserve. Begin with a private transfer from Johannesburg or Pretoria, then enjoy lunch, time in your suite and afternoon tea before the first of two approximately three-hour open-vehicle safaris.

Madikwe’s malaria-free bushveld is home to the Big Five and a rich variety of smaller species. Your guide follows wildlife activity as daylight gives way to evening, with another outing at sunrise. Sightings are never guaranteed, and after-dark viewing depends on reserve rules and conditions.

Rest, dining and lodge facilities

Between safaris, enjoy Etali’s calm surroundings and included use of the gym and steam room. Laundry and Wi-Fi are part of the supplied package. Spa treatments are optional extras. Tell us about dietary requirements before booking; specialist catering, including kosher or halal arrangements, must be confirmed rather than assumed.

Dinner follows the afternoon drive, with the setting determined by lodge arrangements and weather. The next morning pairs a sunrise safari with breakfast before your private return journey.
