OVERVIEW

Jaci’s Madikwe House comprises a main area with four bedrooms and a separate cottage with one bedroom, easily sleeping a group of 10 in comfort and privacy. Located in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, you have access to a private vehicle and guide to go in search of wild dog, rhino, cheetah and other lesser-seen species. If you prefer to let the game come to you, the elevated Thutlwa Lookout provides the perfect perch for an ‘armchair safari’ where you can practise your photography skills and bird spotting.

In addition to five bedrooms, adults and children alike will revel in the heated swimming pool, wood-fired hot tub and access to the Naledi Sleepout for those who want a night under the southern stars.
