Remarkably, Madikwe is one of the few game reserves in the world that was proclaimed a wildlife reserve based on the landscape's ability to sustainably support Africa's most beloved animals. Tuningi Safari Lodge takes its name from an ancient sprawling fig tree that stands in the outdoor boma of the lodge. Designed to offer guests privacy and tranquility, Tuningi comprises only six luxurious suites, making it the ideal destination for family and small group getaways. Each beautifully appointed suite is spacious, featuring an en-suite bathroom with an oversized bath and stunning views, a private outdoor rock shower, a comfortable lounge area, a gas fireplace, air conditioning, and overhead fans. The private wraparound wooden decks on each suite offer the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush. The lodge is thoughtfully designed to cater to families, offering two spacious Family Suites. Each suite includes two en-suite double bedrooms connected by a dining area, kitchenette, living room, and an expansive timber deck overlooking the bush. Lodge facilities include a reception area, a lounge with satellite television and Wi-Fi connectivity, a dining area, a bar, a library, a wine cellar, a sparkling swimming pool, an outdoor boma, and a game-viewing deck overlooking an active waterhole. The lodge is also a popular choice for wedding ceremonies. The Madikwe Reserve is best explored on thrilling walking trails and open safari vehicles, all accompanied by Tuningi’s experienced rangers. A remarkable array of birds and mammals thrives in the diverse landscapes and vegetation zones of Madikwe. The reserve is home to a variety of animal species, including the iconic Big Five, as well as rare species such as servals, meerkats, endangered wild dogs, and cheetahs. With over 420 recorded bird species, the Madikwe Reserve is a prime birdwatching destination. Children are warmly welcomed at Tuningi and kept entertained with their very own interactive Bush Program, combining wildlife-themed education with fun activities. Tuningi Safari Lodge is an ideal destination for solo adventurers, couples, small groups, and families looking for a luxurious and rewarding safari experience. ### Price Includes- Luxury accommodation. - Three meals per day. - Two game drives daily. - Game drive drinks, including non-premium beverages (local beers and spirits, soft drinks, and house wines). - Tea and coffee. - Complimentary Wi-Fi.

What our guests say about Keith

November 7, 2024
Keith Chideme is fantastic!
If you’re looking for someone to help you plan the trip of a lifetime, look no further than Keith Chideme. Keith has been nothing short of extraordinary in helping me create a month-long dream trip to South Africa for myself and 11 family members. His patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process have been remarkable. Keith went above and beyond, engaging in countless conversations to make sure every detail of our six-destination itinerary was just right. He worked tirelessly to balance my budget with my desire for an unforgettable experience, finding deals and creative solutions that I would never have managed on my own. His dedication and expertise gave me complete confidence that this trip will be everything I’ve dreamed of and more. One of my favorite aspects of working with Keith was the personal touch he brought to every interaction. Whether through voice messages, phone calls, or texts, he was always patient, thorough, and thoughtful in explaining every aspect of the itinerary. I never once felt rushed or overlooked—he truly cared about making this trip perfect for us. I can’t imagine planning this trip without Keith. Knowing he has my back has been such a comfort, and I feel completely at ease knowing we are in such capable hands. My entire family is incredibly excited about this incredible adventure, and I know I’ll be contacting Keith for all my future travel plans. He is an absolute gem and a true professional. Thank you, Keith, for everything!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
