Etali Safari Lodge

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. Etali, meaning ‘a new beginning’ respects the privacy of guests while offering impeccable personal attention.

Situated in the heart of the spectacular Madikwe Game Reserve, embraced by pristine bushveld and nurtured by Mother Africa’s rich red soil, Etali Safari Lodge rises to meet you with lavish hospitality.

Africa’s ‘big five’, the African wild dog, as well as black and white rhino, cheetah, giraffe and many other glorious species can be seen on the famous Malaria-free Madikwe Plains at any given time.

The accommodation at Etali Safari Lodge is comprised of eight luxurious air-conditioned suites, each set apart for total privacy in its own bushveld domain. The decor is a mix of cool and earthy colours providing a peaceful contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of the sweet-thorn Acacia trees outside.

Cooling 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 little antelope as audience. Big comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable night’s sleep beneath the thatched roof.

There is also a communal swimming pool for those who prefer to take a sociable afternoon in the African sun.
