Etali Safari Lodge

Etali Safari Lodge is located within the spectacular Madikwe Game Reserve, embraced by pristine bushveld nurtured by the rich red soil of Mother Africa. The lodge rises to offer lavish hospitality in harmony with nature under the vibrant African sun. It is an exclusive, intimate haven where body and soul are rejuvenated in luxurious surroundings created by people who understand luxury.

The accommodation at Etali Safari Lodge consists of eight luxurious air-conditioned suites, each set apart for total privacy in its own bushveld domain. The cool and earthy colors in the decor provide a peaceful contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of the sweet thorn Acacia trees outside. Guests can indulge in cooling off in the splendid outdoor whirlpool, sipping cocktails while watching the breathtaking African sunset from their private decks. The suites feature indoor and outdoor showers, as well as partner baths for relaxing bath therapies prepared by the lodge's therapist. The comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable night's sleep beneath the thatched roofs.

Etali Safari Lodge caters to families with a family suite, and for guests with teenagers, it offers two slightly smaller back-to-back rooms, the only ones in the camp with a connecting deck. These rooms do not have an outside shower, but they share a heated plunge pool.

The lodge's core philosophy of natural health is based on holism, incorporating healing and rejuvenating the body, mind, and spirit, aimed at reawakening the five senses. Etali's state-of-the-art Wellness Centre is a unique concept, with cool, thatched, earthy-toned secluded rooms that allow the sounds of nature to float in and lull guests into a deep state of relaxation. The Wellness Centre offers an opportunity to commune with nature, detoxify the body, improve fitness levels, recover from illness, or simply relax and unwind from modern urban living.

Etali Safari Lodge's delectable cuisine is a contemporary fusion of traditional African with an Asian twist. Meals are light and healthy, featuring fresh seasonal and organically grown vegetables, fruit, and herbs. The chef extraordinaire selects the best local produce daily to create unique dishes. The lodge serves Glenwood Estate wines, including Glenwood Shiraz and Glenwood Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. In addition to fine dining in the dining room or main deck, traditional South African dinners are offered in a lesaka kraal built of stone, where Tswana elders used to gather to discuss tribal issues. The lodge also offers bush breakfasts and dinners, weather permitting.
