In the heart of the spectacular Madikwe Game Reserve, embraced by pristine bushveld, Etali Safari Lodge rises to meet you with lavish hospitality. Built in harmony with nature under the vibrant African sun, Etali is an exclusive, intimate haven, where body and soul are rejuvenated in surroundings created by people who understand luxury.

The Lodge has a superb open gym and spa where you can luxuriate with a massage or how about the 'Warthog Mud Wrap'? Enjoy your treatment whilst enjoying views across the plains.

Game Viewing
Every day in the bush brings a new experience, as nature reveals her wealth of beauty. Enjoy the exciting unpredictability of an early-morning game drive with an expert ranger, look out for giraffe, lion, elephant, wild dog and the elusive black rhino to name a few. Madikwe has a vast diversity of birds with over 300 species recorded so far. Later enjoy a sunset game drive, the best time to enjoy rush hour at the water hole.

Rooms:
You'll find sheer bliss in any one of the eight luxurious air-conditioned suites, each set apart for total privacy in its own bushveld domain. The mix of cool and earthy colours in the decor is a peaceful contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of the sweet-thorn Acacia trees outside.

Cool off in the splendid outdoor whirlpool, sipping a cocktail as you watch the breathtaking African sunset on your own deck is the ultimate indulgence. Nothing beats a long, lingering shower taken outside with only a bird or an antelope as audience. Big comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable night's sleep beneath the thatched roof.

Dining
Etali's delectable cuisine is a contemporary fusion of traditional African with an Asian twist. Meals are light and healthy with lots of fresh seasonal and organically grown vegetables, fruit and herbs. There is no set menu as the chef extraordinaire selects only the best local produce daily with which to work his magic.
