An absolutely faultless experience from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you could ask for and more, with attention pid to the finest details. The game drives were great, unhurried, really allowing you to experience the bush. Food and service were outstanding, and sitting on the deck watching the game... More

The views from the deck are astounding! We saw a all the "big five" within a few days, without moving. From the selfish privacy and comfort of the most enchanting, spectacularly appointed suites or as we choose the communal deck and library. Sipping sundowners on sofas while the elephants slurp, gurgle and growl right ahead, is unforgettable. The food -to... More

My husband and I, along with three of our friends have just spent four idyllic nights and breathtaking days at Jamala. Apart from the stylish and luxurious villas and main lodge, the outstanding meals and high teas and the big five all right in front of our dinner table beside the waterhole, I have to say that Rodney must be...

We've just had 3 competely perfect days at Jamala with our adult son and daughter and really I'm lost for words.

Ridiculously luxurious yet warm and welcoming at the... More

From the warmest welcome ever received in our world travels to the most personalized service (including a photo CD of our experiences), Saun and Rodney and their impeccable staff spent 4 days making sure that we had a truly unforgettable luxury safari. Every need was anticipated. We eagerly anticipated every gourmet meal. Game drives with morning tea and evening "sundowners"... More

I have traveled since I was eleven. Been to over sixty countries and I can truly say Jamala stands a head and shoulders above any other experience I have had before. It is supreme luxury amidst a beautiful wild nature reserve with a staff that has created a truly personal and unique environment. There are only 5 luxury bungalows, each... More

"Natural elegance", along with exquisite accomodations, sublime hosts and extraordinary cuisine makes Jamala Madikwe an imperative stop on any traveler's itinerary. I have been fortunate to visit not once but twice now and will return to my home away from home for many years to come. I cry when I arrive because I am so happy to be back and... More

Imagine rather than bouncing along on yet another land rover, you instead are invited to the beautiful Estate of a friend with a private game reserve, where both in the main residence and the guest houses, money was no object. This was what we found at Jamala Madikwe. Every need taken care of, every detail attended to. It was akin... More
