This was our second trip to jaci's tree lodge (this time with our kids aged 6 and 10). If you want to experience the bush with children this is the lodge to go. The staff are extremely focused on making your stay enjoyable for all and no request is too much. We will definitely go back. More

We stayed here January 2012 on a last-minute booking (due to Kruger Park being flooded and us stranded in Joburg). Jaci's lodges was very accommodating finding last minute accommodations for us and getting us directions to the lodge from OR Tambo airport in Joburg (about 4.5 hour drive). In retrospect we would have skipped the extra flights to Kruger and... More

Firstly allow me to state that we were visiting Madikwe not for a vacation but to attend a memorial service for a dear friend. With this in mind we may not have chosen Jaci's as our first choice, however the Jaci's team put together an amazing package for us. As a result we experienced a lodge that we would probably... More

I was in Johannesburg for business and wanted to see some of South Africa on the weekend. Based on recommendations from a colleague, I booked two nights at Jaci's Tree Lodge. I was attracted to Madikwe Game Reserve because it is malaria free due to its high elevation and cooler temps. I hate taking malaria pills so this was a... More

Amazing hotel with excellent service. I have never felt this comfortable and taken care of in a hotel. Our ranger, Thomas, was absolutely perfect, showing us the most exiting things (even the famous wild dogs twice), he was able to explain us pretty much everything! The staff at the hotel is amazingly friendly and they will take care of EVERYTHING... More

From the minute we arrived at Jaci's we were greeted by our hosts Dion and Shanae and too say they were probably the most perfect hosts ever is a credit to them. The food is equal to that of any of the 5 star restuarant. The staff are exceptionally polite and accommodating. I have stayed at 2 other properties within... More

well i just returned from Jaci s tree lodge and i have to say that this was one of my best travel experiences so far. I ve been a couple of times to daily safaris and i was not prepared for such a great place. The service was just excellent, the game drives fantastic and all the staff extremely polite... More

As a US transplant in South Africa, I frequent many safari lodges with visitors from abroad. My experience at Jaci's Tree Lodge started out good enough but turned into a bit of a horror show and not one I would recommend to anyone particularly those with children. Our room had a surprise visitor in the form of a potentially deadly... More

Really tough to describe the experience, this is just amazing. The Madikwe reserve is superbe and the location between a desert and close to a river means the landscape is very diversified, they say this is Big 5 territory, but big 5 is some sort of marketing b.s, so here they talk of the "Big 10", and we almost saw...
