Madikwe Safari Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Madikwe Game Reserve, Zeerust

"The staff and management work very hard to make your stay special from the food, the amenities, and the personal interactions and special efforts too numerous to cite. The reserve viewing rules are managed by the concessioners who truly understand and respect the wildlife and at the same time try to maximize the visitor experience. We were CONSTANTLY thrilled with the knowledge and skills of our driver and cannot wait to return for him to show us even more wonders. TRULY - YOU MUST EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME!!"

Tuningi Safari Lodge
9.8 (42 reviews)

Tuningi Safari Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Madikwe Game Reserve, Zeerust

"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."

Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge

📍 Wonderboom Gate, Madikwe Game Reserve, Zeerust

"The experience we had for our 4-night stay at Buffalo Ridge Safari lodge way exceeded my expectations - we went as a multigenerational family of 10, and every one of us had the time of our lives. The rooms are spacious & luxurious (where did you get those mattresses from? 😍), the food & meals were outstanding (thank you for the attention to my moms allergies, this was a game-changer for all of us to know that we didn’t need to worry about that) and the game drives with Jo were fun, beautiful, interesting and with excellent sightings on every drive. The lodge itself is magnificent, stunning interior design, all overlooking the park and a lovely waterhole with elephants from the dining area. Boma dinner was a highlight. Exceptional staff, great vibes and a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you for giving us such a special, memorable time."

Tau Game Lodge ★★★★★
"We stayed at Tau Lodge in September and were absolutely stunned from the moment we arrived! From the welcome arrival drink to being greeted by the friendliest faces, the experience exceeded all our expectations. Our room was far better than we imagined, and almost immediately after arriving, a herd of elephants appeared at the waterhole right in front of us. We could watch them from our room balcony and even while having lunch—an unforgettable welcome to the lodge. Our guide, Percy, was incredible. He had the brightest smile, an incredible wealth of knowledge, and such a genuine love for the animals. Every time we mentioned something we hoped to see, he made it his mission to track it down. His passion and dedication made every game drive so special. One of our favourite touches was having dinner with your guide each evening. It was such a wonderful way to get to know Percy better and hear more about the animals and the experiences from the day. Every single staff member at Tau Lodge was top tier. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and there was always a smile. Coming from Australia, we also loved how easy everything was made for us—from organising a private bus to pick us up directly from our door in Pretoria and transport us to and from the lodge. And the food! Every meal was absolutely amazing. We genuinely couldn't fault our stay. Tau Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. We can't wait to return!"

Last Word Madikwe ★★★★
"We recently spent a month in South Africa and ended our vacation at the Last Word Madikwe. The setting would be difficult to beat. Although it was hot, we were never uncomfortable as there was plenty of shade, a beautiful breeze, and a small pool overlooking the watering hole. Our room was large and the bed comfortable, but, we spent virtually no time there as there was so much to do. The room was fully stocked with wine, gin, and sodas, but we never touched it since those things were freely available during meals and the sundowner on the evening game drives. There are comfortable chairs and a blind that overlooks the watering hole, where animals come all day long. It is truly an incredible experience. There are two game drives daily: a sunrise, which in February departed the lodge at 5.30 am and an evening one, which departed at 4 pm. Our guide was Damien, who was excellent--very knowledgeable, and doggedly determined to find the most interesting animals to see. We saw the Big 5, along with wild dogs, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, numerous species of antelope, etc. There are only six rooms at the Last Word Madikwe, which means no more than about 12 guests at a time. While we were there, there were ten guests--four went in one safari vehicle guided by Jodi, and six went in the other guided by Damien. That meant lots of personal attention from the guides and the rest of the staff. Madikwe is so big that we rarely saw other safari vehicles, and when we did, there were only one or two others. I can't say enough about the entire staff. When we left, we forgot some certificates that we had earned from a previous destination. Taryn emailed me scans of the certificates so that we would have them. The entire staff also put on a song and dance routine during one of our dinners which was good fun."

Madikwe Safari Lodge ★★★★★
"My wife and I spent 3 nights at Kopano at Madikwe Safari Lodges during our 3 week tour through South Africa, and it was the highlight of our trip. Everyone at Kopano was simply wonderful. Corinne was there to provide a warm welcome when we arrived, at our return from every game drive, and at every meal. The meals prepared by chef Girlie were absolutely delicious and the service from Ellen and others was top notch. The game drive guides were amazing, especially Mike who taught us about everything from the big 5 animals to the birds to the termites to the plant life of Madikwe. Mike was even able to help my bird-watching wife find the rare secretary birds she was hoping to see. Gorgeous rooms, fabulous food, top notch service, and wonderful guides - We couldn’t have asked for anything more."

Motswiri Private Safari Lodge ★★★★★
"I am a first time safari goer but traveling nomad, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The lodge is very secluded and accommodates 15-16 guests total. It was a very private experience, and we even had the game drives private for several of our days. While the watering hole is small, it was very active in June with elephants visiting daily and guests including buffalo, baboons,and a warthog, The beds are spacious and comfy. The food was excellent, and you won't go hungry. Breakfast is served at 900 AM after the morning game drive, lunch at 1400 before the 1500 game drive and then dinner around 1800. There are snacks and drinks (including alcohol) offered on the game drives and inside your room for free. They added special touches for anniversaries and birthdays. It was really a lovely vacation and experience. Be aware that the drive from the gate of the park to the resort is about 45 minutes to an hour in a sedan on a well-maintained dirt road if you self-drive."

Rhulani Safari Lodge ★★★★
"Rhulani is one of our favourite places in the world, we’re lucky enough to have visited 3 times now and each time is just as amazing as the last! All of the staff are incredible and it really feels like a home away from home, everyone is so friendly and feels like a second family. Ralf was our guide this time around and he was amazing, we had such a good time and a great laugh with him - also had incredible animal sightings! Even on the days it was quiet with sightings we had an amazing time with Ralf. Thank you! We’ll be back again soon!"

Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge
"My wife and I stayed at Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge for four nights in early June, and by pure luck we happened to be the only guests at the lodge during our stay. That meant every game drive was just the two of us and our guide, Joseph. We recognize that this is not the typical experience, but it gave us a unique opportunity to get to know the staff and spend a lot of time with them. Buffalo Ridge was one of the most special travel experiences we have ever had. The lodge is beautiful, Madikwe is incredible, and the wildlife exceeded our expectations, but what made this place unforgettable was the people. Joseph led all eight of our game drives, and he was outstanding. He has been guiding for 17 years, and it showed. He patiently answered our many beginner questions, shared his knowledge of the reserve and its wildlife, and seemed to have an incredible instinct for finding animals. Before visiting, I assumed seeing animals was mostly a matter of driving around and getting lucky. Spending eight drives with Joseph showed us how much expertise is involved. Whether he was tracking animals from footprints and droppings, scanning the horizon for movement, or communicating with other guides, it was clear that many of our best sightings happened because of his skill and experience. The drives themselves were spectacular. During our stay we saw four of the Big Five: lion, rhino, elephant, and buffalo. Leopards were the only one we missed, though we learned they are notoriously difficult to find. We also saw cheetahs and African wild dogs. One of our favorite sightings was two lionesses with five cubs. We also loved seeing elephant calves and a one-month-old rhino calf. Many of our favorite photos were taken with nothing more than an iPhone. The lodge itself is peaceful and relaxing. We frequently saw wildlife from our chalet and from the main lodge overlooking the watering hole. On our final morning, a herd of elephants came through as we were preparing to leave, providing one last unforgettable memory before our departure. The chalets were comfortable, the outdoor shower was fantastic, and we had no issues with Wi-Fi or hot water. We arrived expecting to remember the animals. We left knowing that what we will remember most is the people. The hospitality at Buffalo Ridge was the best we have experienced anywhere in the world. Chefs Julia, Katlego, and Josephine prepared meal after meal that rivaled or exceeded many high-end restaurants we have visited in the United States. We especially loved the freshly made desserts and quickly became fans of koeksisters. During our stay I developed a sinus infection, and Godfrey and Priscilla from the reception team went out of their way to track down medication for me. It made a tremendous difference and helped me enjoy the remainder of our stay. Penelope, Amanda, Cassius, Grace, and Elias were equally warm, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Every interaction felt genuine, and everyone seemed genuinely"
