Starting with Tammy at reservations to Bill and Amy and their whole team There is nothing not to like about Motswiri, the food the staff, great coffee. Elliot our range is a true gem of a guide and made our trip extra special. Even though it was not necessary i was spoiled with lots of birthday surprises Thanks all hopefully we can be back soon

Look no further, this is the lodge for your safari experience. Getting to the place from Johannesburg is very easy by car, they are in touch with you in case of any event. The lodge is just wonderful. This is the only safari I have been on but I think this is a very unique place. The place is very beautiful, service is top knotch, you feel at home but also you know you are having a premium stay. What is most unique about the lodge is the waterhole in front as many animals come during the day to drink water and you can witness this súper up close through an underground hide. It’s amazing and completely safe. The other unique aspect of this lodge is your game drive ranger. Damien is just the best. He goes the extra mile so that you see the most exciting sightings, we had so much fun.

We loved everything about our stay at Rhulani. The staff were incredible and took such wonderful care of us. We've never felt more special in our whole lives. The experience is truly amazing. The safaris and guides were so knowledgeable, informative and made our game drives unforgettable. The hotel chalets were spacious, clean and unbelievably comfortable. If you're reading this. I would really, really recommend staying at Rhulani!

Staff were friendly. Food was delicious and plentiful. Breakfast spread was great, hot and cold options. Lunch was meal and desert. Dinner was soup main and desert. Snacks on game drive. Options of drinks for sundownder on safari. Safari guide went above and beyond to get us to see the animals. Ignatius was amazing. Safari vehicles have blankets and ponchos to keep us comfortable. We had an exceptional time and have made lifelong memories. Staff were adaptable to our 3 families together and kids ranging from 6 to 12. Room was main bed with 2 stretchers (comfy) for the kids within the main room.

Everything! We loved our stay at Rockfig. There are just a handful of totally private, beautiful lodges with amazing views across the park. Everything was spotlessly clean and all the staff were wonderful. Our game drives were great. Thank you to Chene, Hanru and all the team for your hospitality x

    Difficult and bumpy road to get there when you cannot locate the proper route to Madikwe River lodge but the magic unravels as soon as you get close : the animals, the vegetation and one lonely but warm lady at the post who welcomes you to adventure! Blissfully peaceful, Matildah gazing at you while the other impalas peer from the bushes, one cheeky monkey sitting on the roof while the invisible chirping and singing lull you to quietude, right next to the river. The lady at the reception readily informed the Chef about my meal preferences and I was served fish, veggies and rice for dinner. The morning safari was conducted by a guide who read the tracks in Nature and drove us to a cheetah, a napping lion, a rising rhino, munching wildebeests and 3 black rhinos not happy at visitors for disturbing their early morn routine ;), and another napping lion! We looked fondly at the baby elephant and had to be careful when a big male elephant "in mas" came our way. It was one beautiful experience.

    This reserve only allows visitors that stay in one of the lodges so their are no day tours. The guides all work together so they give eachother locations of animals they’ve spotted but than they go in turns to the animal so they don’t get overwhelmed by a traffic jam of tourists.

    Everything about Madikwe was excellent from the food, to the wonderful staff and the amazing Game rides where we saw everything possible from zebras, to elephants, to cheetah and lions and smaller creatures in abundance. The Ranger and Tracker were very knowledgeable and made our drives very interesting-we learned so much, It was truly a very special experience

    Madikwe is reclaimed farmland, so there are not the very large herds you may see in Kruger. Some of them are sizable - for example, they have a herd of African buffalo of nearly 500 head. One of the main draws is that it is Malaria free. The reserve is a good 5-hour drive from Johannesburg, at least. So it is a long way, and the roads in South Africa are not always safe, so consider this - it is worthwhile checking about a flight. The landscapes in the reserve are varied and very beautiful, there are incredible sightings to be had and there is a good variety of animals and birds too.

    The two game drives via Tau Game Lodge were exceptional.

    The two game drives via Tau Game Lodge were exceptional. Israel, the ranger, was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to track down 4 out 5 of the "big 5" game. It was surreal being so close to some of the animals. Photo ops are aplenty. I have nothing bad to say about Madikwe.

    Madikwe is one of the best reserves we ever visited, everything is well looked after and there are some really beautiful spots. We only stayed at one lodge, (Rockfig, which was excellent) so I can't comment on the lodges, but I believe they are all top class. We had 2 safaris per day and we saw the big 5 and a lot of other animals. Beautiful fauna and flora, trees and birds. it was a once in a lifetime experience.
