  • Jamala Review

    A review of one of our favourite lodges not only in the Madikwe Game Reserve but the whole of South Africa.

    Why and how (well you will have to read for more thoughts and opinions), but in a nutshell - magnificent wildlife, great food, great rooms and most importantly fantastic service.

  • Mateya Review

    One of those lodges that just blew us away. We knew that we were going somewhere special but just did not realise how extraordinary the experience would be.

    Reflecting that old-world wildlife and birdlife experience - it is indeed more old school than new school regarding decor and feels.
