The most fabulous place to stay. Once again visiting Madikwe Game Reserve. A happenstance enabled our 5 night stay at Tuningi Lodge. Recently renovated, there are 2 family suites & 4 luxury suites. We were 4 friends, so in 2 of the luxury suites, with our own plunge pools!! So very comfortable and luxurious. We were able (when not cold or raining…. We had several seasons during our stay) to sit in the pool and watch Towers of Giraffe, herds of Elephants, some Zebra, Kudu and Baboons make their way past en route to the waterhole. We could also dash down and watch up close through the hide. The service was excellent, the food fantastic, the alcohol included!! To Heidi, Shontay, Reginald and the other wonderful staff, thank you. To Shaddy, the excellent barman with his never ending supply, also, thank you. All of the staff were excellent and hard working. To our fabulous Ranger, Marcel, thank you for finding nearly all the animals we could hope to see (no amount of manifesting could find the elusive Leopard), especially the 2 packs of Wild dogs. Also thanks to Heidi again for being willing to walk me past the spot where I had just seen a Mozambique spitting cobra!!!! Luckily it appeared more scared of me! Extremely highly recommended

We had a four night stay at Tuningi. The accommodation (luxury suite) was roomy, well equipped and the bed very comfortable. The meals were all excellent, delicious, well presented and obviously freshly made. Each day you were asked to choose what you wanted for lunch & dinner and there was a wide choice of items for breakfast plus a daily breakfast special. The rangers (Andrew & Gavin) were very knowledgably and made the drives interesting. We had some great experiences albeit the cheetah's & leopard's evaded detection in the long grass. Heidi & Sasha at the lodge were always cheerful and available for help & advice. Frans & the other lodge staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Whilst the main reason to go on safari is to see the wildlife, (which we did), the time at the lodge is also important and Tuningi didn't fail to deliver excellence in both cases. This was our 5th Safari in South Africa and would highly recommend Tuningi.

We had the most wonderful 4 night holiday at Tuningi Lodge, celebrating both a 30th and 60th birthday. It was truly magical. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Marcel was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and warm, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation was outstanding, comfortable, beautifully appointed, and perfectly in keeping with the surroundings. A real highlight was the watering hole, which gave us unforgettable wildlife moments right from the lodge. It made the whole experience even more special. We honestly didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. Would highly recommend. It really is a special place.

Updated Pictures of the Tuningi Safari Lodge refurb. Our spacious Luxury Suites & Family Suites boast expansive private timbers decks with plunge pools as well as indoor & outdoor showers. The main thatched lodge offers beautiful indoor and outdoor lounges, an elegant dining room and a magnificent rim flow pool that overlooks a waterhole.

I disappeared down a rabbit warren of safari lodges and stumbled across Tuningi. It was the greatest find of our travel journeys so far. The manager, Sasha, the staff - particularly Shaddy, Frans, Patrick and Keo were amazing. The food, the drinks, the entire atmosphere was so welcoming. The decor at the lodge is next level beautiful. So stylish and in keeping with Africa - the photos don’t do it justice. Andrew, our game driver was just brilliant. Open, warm, knowledgeable and so clever with finding all of the animals we wanted to see. He went out of his way to show us so much and his driving was brilliant. We travelled as a family of 4, our sons being 14 and 18, and can say it was the best holiday of our lives. We stayed in the family room which was incredible. Thank you Tuningi, you helped us leave South Africa with full hearts and a hope of returning.

Excellent experience with exceptional food both from a taste and presentation perspective. The elephant sightings at the waterhole were beautiful and inspiring.

We stayed three nights at Tuningi game reserve; We were picked up by Marcel from the small reserve airport; Marcel drove us to the game reserve and our safari started - Marcel pointed out animals on our way - truly amazing. We were then greeted by Heidi who gave us a wonderful greeting and tour We picked our lunch option; up to our suite for a tour with Heidi, quick change and back for the best lunch ever - the attention to detail was amazing Then our first drive; over the next four days Marcel became our friend, guide, teacher and instilled enthusiasm in everyone in the truck. Marcel loved our numerous questions and his answers were detailed and thorough. Cannot talk highly enough about Marcel Animals - we saw the Big 5 and all thanks to Gavin for spotting the leopard in the tree with his catch Food - food can make or break a holiday - the food at Tuningi reserve was exquisite; attention to detail for every meal. Service was friendly and always with a smile and a hello. Need to mention the breakfast muffins - need the recipe they were delicious Cannot rate Tuningi game reserve highly enough- great team who all worked together to make our experience very special; thank you and special shout out to Marcel

A very disappointing stay overall. The standard of the food was poor (very salty). The service was generally chaotic and disorganised with the staff not really aware on how things should be done - I do not think that the operation was managed in a professional manner, an example being that at 10:00 on the last day we came back to the rooms (still not fully packed) to find that the cleaners were sorting the room out whilst we were still at the property. The game drives were not executed in a way that all guests were able to benefit equally. The gym was too small like non existent and no spa available. For a 5 star resort I was expecting better standards.
