Our personal favourite!
Jamala Madikwe is an exceptional safari lodge situated in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. Gay owned & managed, Jamala Madikwe Royal Safari Lodge offers an intimate bush experience, where personal service and attention to detail are the cornerstones of every waking moment. The lodge successfully combines colonial style and African eccentricity in a delightful marriage of opposites. Set in the pristine 75,000 hectare malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Jamala Madikwe is the ideal place for that ultimate safari experience. It’s also our personal favourite!
