I just wanted to say how impressed we were with your staff, especially Vaughn (sp?) and Barbara. Barbara went out of her way to make us feel welcome and also to ensure that we had everything we wanted. She made it clear that no request was too much to see to, even ensuring that I had my camomile tea to... More

We visited Madikwe Safari Lodge as part of a South Africa tour package. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a most gracious staff in a very personalized setting. The lodge only has a limited number of units and so each guest is treated royally. Our knowledgeable ranger/tracker Greg took us out on morning and evening safaris providing stunning views, unique...

Worry-free stay, takes care of you the moment you arrive until you leave. Staff is great, and the field guides are so so soooo knowledgeable. 5 star recommendation. We were also very fortunate to take part on a walking tour. More

I have traveled all over the world and I can honestly say that this was one of my favorite places. I would love to have a lodge built in exact replica of the bungalow we stayed in to include my favorite shower ever...a floor to ceiling window that looks out onto the reserve while you are showering! Amazing food, amazing... More

Myself and my family loved the Madikwe Safari Lodge. The setting is stunning and the Lodge is in the process of being renovated. The public spaces are complete and beautiful with the bedrooms following behind. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the rangers outstanding, they made the holiday. More

We live in Buenos Aires & have the good fortune of being able to get over to South Africa at least 3, sometimes 4 times a year & on this last occasion there, stayed 2 days at Madikwe Safari Lodge the first week of March. It was our first time to this lodge although we have been to Madikwe Game... More

The rooms are fanyasyic with out door showe facility which over looks the savanah and a bar in the room, take out a... More

the location was exquisite high on a hill over the wilderness. Each villa had a plunge pool on their deck and the rooms were large and very "african" in feeling. We had fabulous service and had to be escorted to our villa after sundown for our own protection by security. They had a wonderful variety of complimentary cocktails and the... More

Throughout our entire holiday at the lodge, the entire staff (including the security guards!) went out of their way to ensure our perfect holiday. The food was absolutely amazing and... More

I've just returned from a weekend at Madikwe and must admit it was an absolutely glorious expereince. Before we left I'd read some reviews and the "Arachnophobia 2" review bothered me a little. I can however say that the picture painted was totally misleading. I found the staff to be fantastic, the rooms to be very well kept and the... More
