Rhulani Safari Lodge ★★★★

"Ο σκοπευτής έκανε ό,τι μπορούσε για να βεβαιωθεί ότι είδαμε το Big 5 και είχαμε καταπληκτικές επισκέψεις. Το προσωπικό ήταν από τους πιο ευγενικούς και πιο χρήσιμους ανθρώπους που έχουμε γνωρίσει."

Impodimo Game Lodge ★★★★★

"Come for the safari. Remember the people. We were a family of five – my dad, my father-in-law, my wife, my son and myself – and flew into Madikwe by prop plane after spending the previous night in Johannesburg. From the moment we landed, the experience started. We were met at the airstrip by Sebastian, who would also be our ranger throughout our stay. What was supposed to be our transfer to Impodimo very quickly became our first mini game drive! When we arrived at the lodge, we were given the usual briefing – meals, timings, game drives, etc. Then came one instruction that we didn’t quite understand: At night, you cannot walk between your room and the main lodge without being accompanied by a ranger. It didn’t take long for us to understand why. Shortly afterwards, while Sebastian was accompanying us to our room, our path was blocked by an elephant. Welcome to Madikwe! 😂 Impodimo sits along a route used by elephants travelling up and down towards the waterhole. So yes, you can quite literally have elephants wandering past the lodge. It is an incredible experience, especially for kids, but also a reminder that you are very much a guest in their home. ~ THE SAFARI ~ Sebastian was our dedicated ranger and Mpo our tracker, and having both of them with us on every game drive was fantastic. For anyone going on their first safari, there is something important to understand: This isn’t a zoo. The animals aren’t sitting around waiting for your vehicle to arrive. Nobody makes a phone call and asks the lions to come out. 😂 Madikwe is MASSIVE, and finding wildlife takes patience, experience and sometimes a fair amount of luck. So let your ranger and tracker do their jobs. Watching Sebastian and Mpo work was part of the experience itself. They read tracks, prints, broken vegetation and even dung to understand where animals had been, what direction they were moving and what they might be doing. You realise very quickly that what looks like absolutely nothing to you is giving them a whole bunch of information. And that knowledge comes from years of experience. One of the reasons we chose Madikwe was also the diversity of the landscape. As you drive through the reserve, the terrain changes significantly, which means you get to experience different animals within their natural habitats rather than simply ticking animals off a checklist. I’ll let the pictures do a better job of showing what Sebastian and Mpo managed to find for us. ~ THE LODGE ~ Impodimo itself is beautiful. The rooms are absolutely five-star, the setting is spectacular and the food was excellent – beautifully presented, delicious and easily at the standard you would expect from a luxury international hotel. But once again, the thing we will remember most wasn’t the room or even the food. It was the people. The entire team was warm, hospitable and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. And then my dad lost his camera lens. Not a lens somewhere inside the lodge. He had"

Last Word Madikwe ★★★★

"Ο Σαμ, ο οδηγός μας, ήταν ασύγκριτος στην αναζήτηση ζώων και στη θέση του οχήματος όπου θα πήγαιναν τα ζώα, έτσι ώστε να μπορέσουμε να πάρουμε την πρώτη θέση θέασης. Όλοι οι υπάλληλοι ήταν πολύ ευγενικοί και προσεκτικοί για να βεβαιωθούν ότι πάντα είχατε αυτό που χρειάζεστε... ότι το σαλόνι και το δωμάτιο ήταν επίσης καλύτερο από ό,τι περίμενα... και αισθάνθηκα σαν μια πολυτέλεια εμπειρία."

"Τι λησμονική διαμονή στο Κοπάνο στο Μαδίκβε Σαφάρι Λοτζς. Η υπηρεσία ήταν εξαιρετική σε όλη τη διάρκεια, με τόσο θερμή φιλοξενία από όλους στο Κοπάνο που μας έκανε να νιώθουμε πραγματικά ξεχωριστοί από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος. Ευχαριστώ πολύ την Κορίν και την Αλίτα που ήσασταν τόσο φανταστικοί οικοδεσπότες, τον Έλιοτ για το απίστευτο φαγητό, και την Πρισίλα και την υπόλοιπη ομάδα που μας φρόντισαν τόσο καλά. Όπως ακριβώς μείναμε ο Ντέιβ και εγώ, ήμασταν αρκετά τυχεροί για να απολαύσουμε μια πραγματική εμπειρία VIP, η οποία έκανε τον χρόνο μας στο Κοπάνο ακόμα πιο μνημειώδη. Ευχαριστώ πολύ τον αστυνομικό και οδηγό μας, τον Ρίγκαρντ, που έκανε κάθε οδηγό μια τόσο εκπληκτική εμπειρία. Το Κοπάνο είναι ένα όμορφο σπίτι σε μια εκπληκτική σκηνή, με απίστευτα άτομα, φανταστικά τρόφιμα και μια ατμόσφαιρα που το καθιστά δύσκολο να φύγει. Σας ευχαριστώ για την ειδική σας διαμονή και ένα αναπόσπαστο μέρος του ταξιδιού μας στη Νότια Αφρική."

Tuningi Safari Lodge ★★★★★

"A truly incredible lodge with excellent food, service and very knowledgable game rangers. We loved our stay and were very sad to leave. They treated us like family and pampered us like royalty. Heidi and Gavin are warm, welcoming and friendly. Heidi went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back."

Jamala Madikwe ★★★★★

"We have had numerous safari holidays but Jamala was the ultimate in luxury. The staff were excellent, our driver KG was top rate and the food was amazing. The setting for the lodge was alongside a waterhole and every day we could see elephant, white rhino, impala, zebra, wharthogs etc. in large numbers coming down to drink. The elephant particularly were fascinating, greeting each other, having disagreements and drinking, splashing in the water etc. It was magnificent."
