Tau Game Lodge

"We were a family of 6 of all ages grandparents to children. We loved this lodge. The rooms were beautiful, clean and amazing views. Loved the outdoor showers. Food was delicious and plentiful. Our guide Tania was simply amazing she went out of her way to find as many animals as possible. Her knowledge led us to follow a lioness with blood on her chest back to her cubs eating their kill of a young zebra, we were so close! Another highlight was watching the 5 cheetah brothers, so incredibly beautiful. We enjoyed her company at dinner and had fun with her whilst learning a lot. It was all perfect but the main reason was the wonderful staff, so helpful and smiley, from the warm welcome to the waving goodbye. Perfect!"

Rhulani Safari Lodge

"El hotel está situado en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la ciudad, en el centro de la El tío Michael nos escolta a nuestra casa privada y a partir de la noche, si nos encontramos con uno de los animales del bush - Rhulani es un lugar donde puedes observar elefantes mientras te gusta el té! El personal de la recepción siempre fue bienvenido, esperando por nosotros cuando regresamos de nuestras carreras de mañana y noche. Además de los “Big Fives”, observamos la caza de chietas y perros salvajes, girafas y una gran cantidad de zebras. Willem, nuestro guía, está apasionado por la naturaleza y nos impresiona al responder a todas nuestras preguntas sobre este complejo ecosistema - que necesita ser protegido. Cuando nos encontramos con una curiosa mente -y no con la obsesión de los “Big Five”- parece que la naturaleza nos ha dado: vimos mucho más de lo que esperabamos (selección de fotos adjuntas). Entre los muchos momentos grandes, recordaremos una cena al aire libre en un entorno tradicional, con un brai, un codo de vaca cocido en un jardín en un fuego y otros deliciosos alimentos. También fue muy interesante ver a todos los empleados, incluido el gerente, que realizan varias canciones tradicionales de una capella. En el contexto de la apartheid y los desafíos que se han persistido en Sudáfrica, hemos tenido la impresión de que hay mucho respeto por el personal y también hemos oído cuentas positivas de la mentalidad de los propietarios de la casa de Suiza. Recomendamos firmemente Rhuani Safari Lodge!"

Last Word Madikwe

"Me and my wife are addicted to wildlife, safari, game drives and wildlife photography. We go 2 or 3 times a year to Africa so we have been privileged to be to a lot of beautiful places in Africa. Last month (June 2014) we went for the first time to Madikwe and stayed 6 nights at Last Word. On arrival I was struck by a beautiful waterhole with a hide so you can come close to all the animals drinking at the waterhole and are able to make low angle photo's. What an absolute delight, the hide has an entrance and exit far enough not to scare the present animals. It is open 24/7 has comfortable seats and even beanbags are present. There is a water inlet next to the opening of the hide view where Elephants like to drink the fresh water. You have to be quiet but the what a reward. We have seen Elephants, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Kudo, Whartog, Rhino, Impala, Roen, Spotted Hyena, Brown Hyena, Zebra, Giraffe and many birds come drinking. Also there is light during evening and night, great light for viewing but for photography I would recommend a bit more bright light. There was always a lot to see at the waterhole in the hide or sitting in the garden in front off the waterhole. What an absolute pleasure that was. Normally we try to catch a little sleep between the morning drive and afternoon drive but we had extreme FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and did not went to our room and stayed at the waterhole/hide the entire day. The lodge itself is very beautiful decorated and has a great atmosphere. It is not a big lodge only two game viewers with maximum of 6 people per game viewer. They have a great chef, the food was delicious and they serve breakfast, high tea and dinner. The Staff was very friendly, genuine interested in your well being and went the extra mile to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The room was clean, comfortable and everything needed was available including refrigerator and aircondition. The bed was also very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit outdated. We were here at wintertime so during the night the temperature hit zero degrees sometimes. We were surprised to find a hot water bottle in our bed when we went to sleep. Also a hot water bottle with a blanket was provided during morning game drive. The reserve is a big five game reserve and the also have two packs of wild dogs. During winter it was dry but there was a lot of change of scenery with hills with dense population, plains and big dams. During our drives we unfortunately did not see the wild dogs, they were denning in the hills and only came down to hunt. But a lot of general game, Elephants, Rhino and we had a few very good lion sightings (also male lions with kill) and several cheetahs. At the beginning the drives were a bit slow but later we saw a lot of action. Our ranger was very knowledgeable, knew the area very good and needed bit of guidance to position the car the best way possible for photography but she picked that up very fast :-) After 6 beautiful nights and days we wen"

Madikwe Safari Lodge

"Of the three lodges and areas in South Africa we visited, this was by far the best. Our stay in Kopano was outstanding with a personal service being given and amazing food. Really enjoyed our time with our guide Regard. Thanks to him we had great sightings of cheetah, wild dogs and brown hyena. A memorable experience. Thanks to you all"

Impodimo Game Lodge

"Our Love Letter to Impodimo ❤️🦁🐘🦁 Impodimo, how we are so grateful for the early morning wake ups before sunrise, the crisp morning air on the game drives, driving through untouched wilderness and hearing sounds we have never heard before. Impodimo, how magical it was watching the sky come alive during a sunrise or sunset...those shifting shades of gold, pink, orange and fire, reminding us to slow down and take it all in, and appreciate the moment. Impodimo, how we loved watching the wild animals roam freely in their natural habitat and sometimes getting so close that we could see the giraffes long eye lashes and the wrinkles on the elephants skin and the moment the lions powerful roar gave us goosebumps. Seeing life in the wild, reminded us of patience, courage and the beauty of simply being present. Impodimo, every moment opened our eyes in new ways. 'How blessed we are'... to forget all our worries and have a heartfelt gratitude for being alive. Impodimo, it was not only the stunning landscapes or the majestic animals but the people aswell. Watching our guide and tracker Sebastian and Mpho, celebrate every sighting with us, as if it was their first time. They weren't just guides, they became part of our story. Impodimo, you were exhilarating, restful, emotional, magical and heart filling. You reminded us that some of our best moments in life are waiting for us and still are. You stole our hearts and we know this unbelievably blessed experience will stay with us forever. All our love ❤️"
