My family and I have just returned from a three night stay at the Safari Lodge and have nothing but great things to say about it. The facilities were very clean and the staff was so accomodating. First off it was a beautiful property that had so much character, my boys ages 7 and 5 fell in love with the... More

From the minute you arrive to minute you leave everyone at Jaci's Lodge ensures that you have a wonderful experience. The Game drives are amazing and Paul our guide made sure he catered for everyone - families, couples, singles, young & old! The dinners were awesome, the staff were so helpful and most importantly happy all the time! Accommodation was... More

My husband and I spent 5 fantastic days at Jaci's. Our accommodations were outstanding. We arrived to a cheery hello and a welcome drink. Before we knew it we were on our first drive. Our guide, Johan, knew just the right places to look for wildlife and wow did we find it. Within the first hour we were within feet... More

We stayed in a family suite very charming, confortable with our private swimming pool and a view on a pond where animals were coming to drink. The service was very welcoming and the staf was nice. We had our own ranger for the game drive and they were outstanding. We could for example see lions from very close many times!... More

We stayed here for 3 nights during the Easter break, it was very full and clearly the place was at full stretch, however the staff are excellent and extremely helpful particularly with the kids, being flexible with the food offer at meal times and generally very patient answering hundreds of questions etc!! Being busy there was little flexibility inactivities, drives... More

We stayed at Jaci's safari lodge this past weekend with another couple and our 4 children under 6. There were some highlights and some definite low-lights We were given the safari suite, which is a 3 bedroom suite with a loft. Our side of the lodge was average to say the least. Definitely not 5 star! Our bedroom was pokey,... More

Madikwe Game Reserve has been on my wish list for a longtime and last May I got the opportunity to stay for two nights at Jaci's Lodge. What struck me the most is the wonderful atmosphere at this Lodge. You can see that the staff members are all very happy to work here and together they deliver a superb product.... More

The level of service, quality of our meals, extremely knowledgeable/ friendly game drivers, and of-course the accommodation were absolutely first class. My wife and I are foodies and we were extremely impressed by the pre drive breakfast, full english breakfast, as well as outstanding lunch and dinner menus. We often chatted to the resort's manager, who was extremely forthcoming, as... More

Having been to several lodges in the Madikwe reserve one is (so long as a bit of research done) accustomed to generally good standards of service and food. While Jaci's is no exception, it outshone others where we have stayed in respect of "kids friendliness". It's slightly more casual nature and layout allowed our kids (aged 6, 9 and 12)... More

Everyone wants their Safari to be special. Jaci's camp is. My husband and I stayed at both of the camps, though different from each other, friendliness of staff, attention to detail,could not be faulted. Food was fabulous with the different locations they served it at making it hard to concentrate on. From breakfast served over looking the river,lunch on the... More
