The detail

Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the largest private game reserves in South Africa and boasts a rich diverse vegetation that inhabits an abundance of wildlife. Madikwe is one of few game reserves in the world that was proclaimed a wildlife reserve based on the landscape being favorable to the sustainability of Africa's most loved animals.  

Tuningi Safari Lodge derived its name from an ancient sprawling Fig Tree that can be seen in the outdoor boma of the lodge. Tuningi was designed to offer guest privacy and tranquility and with only six luxurious suites, Tuningi is the ideal destination for family and small group getaways.

Each beautifully appointed Suite is spacious and boasts an en-suite bathroom with an oversized bath and fabulous views, a private outdoor rock shower, comfortable lounge area, a gas fireplace, air-conditioning and overhead fans. The private wrap around wooden decks on each of the suites offer the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush.

The Lodge was carefully designed to cater for children of all ages, with two spacious Family Suites. Each suite features two en-suite double bedrooms and is joined by a dining area, kitchenette, living room and an expansive timber deck that overlooks the bush.

The lodge facilities include a reception area, lounge area with satellite television and Wi-Fi connectivity, dining area, bar, library, wine cellar, sparkling swimming pool, outdoor boma, and a game viewing deck which overlooks an active waterhole. The lodge is also a popular choice for wedding ceremonies.

The Madikwe Reserve is explored on exciting walking trails and open safari vehicles, accompanied by Tuningi’s experienced rangers.

A spectacular array of birds and mammals have flourished in the diversity of landscapes and vegetation zones at Madikwe. The reserve is home to a number of animal species, including the famous Big Five and other rare species such as servals, meerkats, endangered wild dogs and cheetahs. Some 420 bird species have been recorded, making the Madikwe Reserve a prime bird watching destination.

Children are welcome at Tuningi and are kept busy with their very own interactive bush program that incorporates wildlife-themed educational fun.

Tuningi is ideal for solo explorers, couples, small groups and families looking for a rewarding luxury safari experience.

Botswana Experience
Anja, our agent, was very kind and helpful all the time to organize the perfect trip. She did it quickly and efficiently. The amount of days we spent in every place was perfect to really enjoy the hotels and the different activities they proposed (in general the hotels are very nice but we don’t have the time to really experience the place but here we did). Also the selections of hotels was very very nice. Nice infrastructure, excellent service (very professional) and outstanding places to visit (all the parks were great). We had a wonderful experience with the company in Botswana.
