Nestled in the magnificent malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Etali Safari Lodge offers just eight suites built in harmony with nature from rugged indigenous stone, thatch and wood – all laced together by a series of winding walkways. All suites have indoor and outdoor showers, air-con, fireplaces, a complimentary minibar and a private deck with heated whirlpool.

Guests can enjoy the exciting unpredictability of early morning and afternoon game drives - a leopard sitting on a rock licking his paws - the black rhino with attitude - the watchful matriarch elephant, bigger than you ever imagined - a pride of lions relaxing in the shade ... In-between game drives, relax and be pampered in the tranquillity of the Wellness Centre or enjoy the sheer pleasure of a massage on your own sundeck.

Africa's Big 5, the African wild dog (the world's most endangered canine), as well as black and white rhino, cheetah, giraffe and many other wildlife species can be seen on the Madikwe Plains at any given time. Every day in the bush brings a new experience.
