We stayed for 2 nights in early March and had a great time. We second everything that is on this site about the friendliness and quality of the staff. They are very welcoming and skilled at what they do. I have been to Kruger before and there is much less game in Madikwe but with Coheney the game ranger we... More

We stayed for 2 nights but wish we could have stayed for longer!! The accomadation is lovely and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The waterhole is amazing and provides constant entertainment as the elephants, rhino, giraffe, warthogs etc etc all come for a drink during the day. There is nothing more amazing than cooling off in the swimming pool... More

Where do I even begin. This place is all time!!! My fiance and I arrived and were greeted by Geraldine with cool hand towels and a welcome drink. The House is situated in front of a watering hole that had an elephant drinking just as we arrived - What a welcome! The house feels like a beautiful home. Relaxed but... More

We stayed at the Bush House for four nights in early July, the cold season for Southern Africa. My wife and I both agreed that it was the best experience we've had on any trip we've taken. The lodge is small but filled with amenities: beautiful rooms, a really pleasant garden with plenty of spots to lounge, an amazing watering... More

I took an early winter safari with The Bush House. Just a short drive from Gaborone, the lodge is nestled in a verdant oasis within the Madkwe Reserve. The rooms are well appointed for the relaxation I was looking for with comfortable beds and a surprising water bottle added during turndown to keep my toes toasty. The meals were fantastic,... More

We spent 4 nights at The Bush House as part of my wife's 60th birthday holiday in SA. From the moment we arrived (after a long but easy drive from Jo'burg) we knew we had chosen well. Madikwe is a beautiful area and The Bush House provided all that we wanted by way of wonderful accommodation, great (and plentiful) food,... More

We stayed at The Bush House for four nights at the beginning of January and had an amazing experience! Sue and Gordon run a tight ship and all the staff made us feel extremely welcome and right at home! We were the only guests for three out of the four nights, and it was amazing to have all the facilities... More

I looked at every lodge in Madikwe in detail and I'm SO glad we chose Bush House for 3 nights; it was the most amazing place - tranquil, a really beautiful home to relax in, every attention to detail perfected, the owners are fantastic people and their staff are equally lovely, great rangers full of information, a water hole teaming...
