Jaci’s Safari Lodge

Embark on an unforgettable family holiday to South Africa with a luxurious safari experience at Jaci’s Safari Lodge, nestled in the enchanting Madikwe Game Reserve. This malaria-free wildlife paradise is perfect for children, featuring child friendly activities from professional guides. 

The stream is the main artery of this gorgeous camp, the lounge placed perfectly for views across this small water way where guests can sip tea, enjoy a late brunch and just watch the birds. Later, head to the elevated bar to have a sundowner while antelope drink and maybe a predator lurks. 

At Jaci’s Safari Lodge, the atmosphere is warm and amiable, and everyone feels as if they have met before. Settle into comfy suites completely decked out in underfloor heating, attractive ceramic fireplaces, aircon, fans, double beds and stretcher beds for the kids. 

At Jaci’s Safari Lodge, you’ll find exceptional personal attention and dedicated staff committed to creating the perfect getaway. With exquisite facilities and a focus on detail, everything is designed to ensure your experience is flawless. The lodge features eight cozy bush tents and two elegant suites, providing an intimate atmosphere for those looking to immerse themselves in the true wilderness and wildlife of Madikwe.

Embark on magical safaris by vehicle or go on incredible bush walks. Madikwe safari guides are all rather impressive, deeply knowledgeable and experienced, tuning in to the animal movements and finding rare events for guests to view and be part of, in nature. 

Madikwe Game Reserve may seem small but in fact it extends 75 000 ha into the vast flatness of the North-West province of South Africa, on the border with Botswana. A dense wildlife population means that visitors see plentiful animals on each drive. Discover some of the 1600 elephants, 45 lions, 22 leopards and 7 cheetahs! Accommodation within the reserve is exclusive and limited to fit into the conservation ethos of the region.

Choose the two lavish suites or 8 tented suites at Jaci’s Safari Lodge for a genuine back to nature experience in the heart of the Madikwe Game Reserve in Northwest Province of South Africa, close to Botswana.  

Staff are compassionate, professional and hands-on so nothing is left to chance – all visitors need to do is relax on the deck and watch the game stroll on by. This deck is perfectly placed in the trees with views of a stream and the comfy lounge is reminiscent of a cosy living area in a farmhouse somewhere.

Ethic style tented suites for couples feature hand-mosaiced bathtubs with bush views, king size beds, fans, aircon, outside showers and a deck that seems to hang over the trees. Family groups on safari can choose Nare Suite for that extra space and luxury, that privacy to let loose and relax in a home away from home. Kids will love the outside showers and upstairs loft for fun sleeping arrangements and they will relish game drives with friendly knowledgeable game rangers and trackers twice a day. 

Even larger, Safari Suite is a three-bedroomed villa type of accommodation at Jaci’s so bring your best friends and hang out in Madikwe Game Reserve for that summer holiday feeling. Starbed Suite has 4 bedrooms so would suit two family groups or friends on holiday in South Africa.

Guests of Jaci’s are treated to incredible outings in the bush to find the animals and plants, to learn about the biodiversity and one of the highlights is the unique experience in Terrapin Hide.
