Etali Safari Lodge

Etali Safari Lodge is an exclusive, intimate haven built in harmony with nature from rugged indigenous stone, thatch and wood – all laced together by a series of winding walkways. Set in the heart of the spectacular malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Etali offers the ultimate in seclusion with just eight romantic suites.

Modern and contemporary, the décor is a soothing mix of cool colours and earthy textures. Etali’s chic suites have been positioned for maximum privacy and each is set on its own patch of the bushveld with far-reaching views over the pristine savannah. Outdoor showers provide the chance to cleanse under the stars ‘African-style’, whilst huge beds dressed with crisp linen promise an unforgettable night's sleep beneath a thatched roof.

The cuisine at Etali is a delectable fusion of African flavours with an Asian twist – and there is a particular emphasis on using only organically grown produce.

In between game drives, bush walks and stargazing, you can unwind and be pampered in the tranquillity of the Wellness Centre – or simply enjoy a relaxing massage on your sundeck. In keeping with Etali’s core focus on natural health, the stateof-the-art Wellness Centre offers a range of holistic treatments to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul – and in addition, those so inclined can commune with nature in the ‘bush yoga’ sessions – or even ‘work-out’ in the open thatched gymnasium.

Whatever your interests, there’s no question that cooling off in the outdoor whirlpool, or sipping a cocktail whilst gazing in awe at yet another breathtaking African sunset, are most definitely ‘high on the agenda’ at Etali!
