Madikwe Game Reserve, North West Province
The Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa, portrays eco-tourism at its best. In conjunction with local communities and the private sector, the North West Province Parks and Tourism Board set aside these 75 000 hectares of malaria-free splendor on the border of Botswana as a conservation partnership.
Africa's "Big Five", the African wild dog, (the world's most endangered canine), as well as black and white rhino, cheetah, giraffe and many other glorious species can be seen on the famous Madikwe Plains at any given time.
Spring rains bring a fabulous display of wild flowers to the game rich Madikwe Game Reserve, and the promise of new life after the long dry season as the waterholes fill up ...wildebeest on the move ...lions making a kill ...warthogs on a fast trot. |

Out of the heart of the spectacular and game rich Madikwe Game Reserve, surrounded by pristine African bushveld, the exclusive Etali Safari Lodge rises to meet you with lavish hospitality and luxury. The Madikwe Game Reserve is located in South Africa’s North West Province, easily accessible either by plane or by road from Johannesburg, Pretoria and the Sun City Resort.
Built in harmony with nature under the vibrant African sun, the 5 star Etali Game Lodge is an exclusive, intimate haven, where body and soul are rejuvenated in surroundings created by people who understand luxury. Etali, meaning 'a new beginning' respects the privacy of guests while offering impeccable personal attention.
Accommodation at the Etali Safari Lodge
Guests will find the accommodation at the Etali Safari Lodge tranquil and private. The luxurious air-conditioned suites at the Etali Safari Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve are set apart for total privacy in its own bushveld domain. The mix of cool and earthy colours in the decor is a haven of peace contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of the sweet-thorn Acacia trees outside.
Cooling off in the 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 little antelope as audience. Big comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable night’s sleep beneath the thatched roof.
Cuisine at the Etali Safari Lodge
Etali Safari Lodge’s gourmet 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 to work his magic.
Activities offered at the Etali Safari Lodge
Every day in the untamed African bush brings a new experience on exciting game safaris. Enjoy the exciting unpredictability of an early-morning game drive with a professional ranger whose eyes will spot memorable moments ...a leopard sitting on a rock licking his paws ...the black rhino with attitude ...the watchful elephant, bigger than you ever imagined ...a pride of lions relaxing in the shade ...grazing zebras forming patterns in the grass ...the wild dogs in their den ...giraffes, the lookout towers of the bush. The Madikwe Game Reserve has a vast diversity of birds with over 300 species recorded so. If you prefer, a sunset game drive is the best time to enjoy rush hour at the water hole.
The Wellness Centre at the Etali Safari Lodge
Relax and be pampered in the tranquillity of the Wellness Centre at the Etali Game Lodge or enjoy the sheer pleasure of a massage on your own sundeck, therapeutic in itself.
The philosophy of natural health is based on holism and incorporates healing and rejuvenating body, mind and spirit. Etali's state-of the-art Wellness Centre is a unique concept that allows you to discover how fantastically good you really can feel.
