- Etali Safari Lodge - North
West Accommodation - Madikwe Game Reserve
Out of the heart of the spectacular Madikwe Game Reserve, embraced by pristine
bushveld nurtured by Mother Africa’s rich red soil, Etali Safari Lodge
rises to meet you with lavish hospitality.
Built in harmony with nature under the vibrant African sun, Etali is an
exclusive, intimate haven, where body and soul are rejuvenated in surroundings
created by people who understand luxury.
You’ll find the accommodation at Etali Safari Lodge sheer bliss in
any one of our eight luxurious air-conditioned suites, each set apart for
total privacy in its own bushveld domain.
Big comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable
night’s sleep beneath the thatched roof. The mix of cool and earthy
colours in the decor is a peaceful contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of
the sweet-thorn Acacia trees outside.
We also cater for families with our Family Suite and if you have teenagers,
we can offer you two slightly smaller back to back rooms, the only in camp
with a connecting deck. These rooms do not have an outside shower;
however they share a heated plunge pool.
Etali’s delectable cuisine is a contemporary fusion
of traditional African with an Asian twist. Meals are light and healthy with
lots of fresh seasonal and organically grown vegetables, fruit and herbs. There
is no set menu as the chef extraordinaire selects only the best local produce
daily to work his magic. Etali house wines are supplied by Glenwood Estate. We
serve Glenwood Shiraz and Glenwood Semillon Sauvignon Blanc wines.
Other than fine dining in our dining room or main deck, we offer traditional
South African dinners in our 'lesaka' kraal built in stone. (Tswana elders
used to gather in lesaka to discuss tribal issues), close to our water hole. Etali
has a site where we serve bush breakfasts and dinners, weather permitting.
Cooling off in the splendid outdoor whirlpool, sipping a cocktail as you
watch the breathtaking African sunset on your own deck is the ultimate indulgence.
Nothing beats a long, lingering shower taken in our inside/outside showers
with only a bird or little antelope as audience. Second to that may
be to soak away in our partner bath and enjoy a relaxing bath therapy prepared
by our therapist.

Bush Walks
Get closer to the heartbeat of Africa by taking a walk through
the bush. Your guide will explain the medicinal value of trees and plants,
and delight you with stories of the magical powers often attributed to them,
identify grass and bird species and pick the bitter-sweet fruit of a Maroela
for you to taste.
For those of you fascinated by planets, the solar system
or the wonder of the Southern skies, enrich your stay at Etali with an evening
of stargazing. Explore the wonder of the Southern Cross, the awesome beauty
of the Jewel Box, or the Milky Way at its best.
Enjoy the exciting unpredictability of an early-morning
game drive with an expert ranger whose hawk-eyes will spot memorable moments
...a leopard sitting on a rock licking his paws ...the black rhino with attitude
...the watchful matriarch elephant, bigger than you ever imagined ...a pride
of lions relaxing in the shade ...grazing zebras forming patterns in the
grass ...the 'painted' wild dogs in their den ...giraffes, the lookout towers
of the bush. Madikwe has a vast diversity of birds with over 300 species
recorded so far – perhaps you’ll be the one who adds another
to the list.
We also offer golf as an activity. We offer the choice between the lovely
Phakalane Golf Estate in Gaborone only 45 minutes away or the Sun City 'Gary
Player' golf course that is 2 hours away.
