The lodges are really nice, strategically located in front of a waterhole that attracts various species of animals. The staff was nice and helpful and the food was delicious. All the game drives have been incredibile, we've seen a lot of animals and different landscapes. A special thank you to our ranger James who is very passionate and knowledgeable about the reserve's wildlife and made every single drive an unforgettable experience. I higly recommend.

The reserve was stunning and the lodge offered fantastic views overlooking a watering hole. Our accommodation was fabulous—comfortable and stocked with everything you could possibly need. So peaceful and serene-the perfect place to relax. The game drives were brilliant; we were incredibly fortunate to spot the Big Five on our very first afternoon. The food was delicious. All we had to do was show up and enjoy the drives, the meals, and the beauty of the surroundings. Unforgettable experience.

The Last Word Madikwe was simply fantastic, impeccable, far beyond our expectations. The room was wonderful, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. A highlight of our stay was the care and attention of the staff, which made our stay unforgettable. All the staff members are very attentive and pleasant. Damien was our ranger and went above and beyond to ensure that we had the complete experience and saw the big 5 and more. Every day, they left sweets, poems, and other treats in our room. The hotel is fantastic. There are only 5 rooms, which makes the experience very exclusive and unique. Because it's so exclusive, we ended up interacting directly with the other guests, making the atmosphere lighter and more enjoyable and allowing us to make new friends. A unique feature of the Last Word Madikwe is the Hide, which allows you to see animals drinking water in the river literally 1 meter away. It was incredible. One night, we saw a herd of buffalo drinking water while enjoying a glass of wine and the starry sky! The safari was amazing! They divide the guests into two cars, so it's super comfortable! We loved the surprise breakfast in the middle of the savannah! What an incredible experience! We will definitely come back and recommend it to all our friends! Thank you very much, Last Word Madikwe! We already miss it!

Everything was perfect. I would recommend Rhulani to everyone and would go back for our next stay in Madikwe without hesitation. The double family bungalows are huge with very comfortable beds. The staff are so helpful and welcoming and informative. Our guide-ranger Willem was the best ! We saw more in one morning than we could ever have expected to see and learned so much. An unforgettable experience for the whole family.

Staff were friendly. Food was delicious and plentiful. Breakfast spread was great, hot and cold options. Lunch was meal and desert. Dinner was soup main and desert. Snacks on game drive. Options of drinks for sundownder on safari. Safari guide went above and beyond to get us to see the animals. Ignatius was amazing. Safari vehicles have blankets and ponchos to keep us comfortable. We had an exceptional time and have made lifelong memories. Staff were adaptable to our 3 families together and kids ranging from 6 to 12. Room was main bed with 2 stretchers (comfy) for the kids within the main room.

    Amazing game lodge, with an exceptional location and a very friendly staff. The game drives are exceptional. The presence of the water pond, right in front of the lodge is a big plus, since animals gather there in large numbers. Rooms are very confortable with a terrace facing the pond.

    We’d been lucky enough to visit various lodges in Madikwe before, but were really impressed by every aspect of Tau Lodge. From its fabulous location - with all rooms and the dining deck overlooking a genuinely busy water hole - to exceptional staff and fine food, I couldn’t recommend this too highly. We will return!
