The reserve is internationally recognised for its far-sighted and progressive management of land and wildlife rehabilitation as well as productive community involvement.

World renowned as one of Africa’s finest game lodges, Londolozi was the first game reserve in the world to be accorded Relais & Châteaux status, reinforcing its commitment to luxurious accommodation, fine cuisine and exceptional service.

Option 4: Jaci's Safari Lodge

Unleash your wild spirit and fall in love again at Jaci's Safari Lodge, a dream holiday destination customized for you. Your hosts will welcome you with open arms and into the Jaci's family, your home away from home.

Jan and Jaci van Heteren’s vision for a family safari lodge was born amid a dusty North West province mealie field in the early 1990s. From a piece of infertile farmland to a wildlife paradise, the location of Jaci’s Safari Lodge and Jaci’s Tree Lodge has been developed into an oasis of calm and serenity in the arid African bush offering the finest luxury accommodation Madikwe has to offer.
Our luxurious lodges offer two very unique safari experiences, catering to both families looking to reconnect in a peaceful setting, and couples looking for a more intimate bush experience.

Option 4: Tau

On the far northern border of South Africa lies a beautiful area known as the Great Marico and it is in this spectacular setting, in the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve, that Tau Game Lodge South Africa is situated.

The jumbled hillocks of Tshwene-Tshwene and the dramatic ridge of the Dwarsberg Mountains expose rocks of up to 2630 million years old and artifacts of the Stone and Iron Ages are still found in the Great Marico dust.

Privately owned Tau Game Lodge South Africa was built in 1995 and overlooks a vast natural waterhole, which attracts a variety of game, as does the diverse vegetation that thrives in the fertile topsoil.
Situated at an easy 4 hours driving distance from Johannesburg or 50 minutes daily scheduled flight from Johannesburg International airport, Tau "The Place of the Lion" can host and accommodate up to 60 people.
