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 to be 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. The mix of cool and earthy colors in the decor is a peaceful contrast to the unsurpassed beauty of the sweet thorn Acacia trees outside. 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 and outside showers with only a bird or little antelope as the audience. Second to that may be to soak away in our partner bath and enjoy a relaxing bath therapy prepared by our therapist. Big comfortable beds with fine crisp linen promise an unforgettable night’s sleep beneath the thatched roof. We also cater to families with our family suite, and if you have teenagers, we can offer you two slightly smaller back-to-back rooms, the only ones in the camp with a connecting deck. These rooms do not have an outside shower, however, they share a heated plunge pool.
Our core philosophy of natural health is based on holism and incorporates healing and rejuvenating the body, mind, and spirit, guaranteed to reawaken your five senses. Etali's state-of-the-art Wellness Centre is a unique concept. The design and layout of the cool, thatched, earthy-toned secluded Wellness rooms lend themselves to a sense of space, allowing the soundtrack of the great outdoors to float in and lull you into a deep state of relaxation. You'll hear the echo of the elephants around the water hole and the Weaver birds tapping on the windows. This piece of undisturbed Africa is where nature is truly in its element. Discover how fantastically good you really can feel.
Whether you are in need of pure self-indulgence, to commune with nature, or detoxify the whole body, improve fitness levels, recover from illness, or simply relax and unwind from modern urban living, then this is where you can install a feeling of calm and relief. True relaxation is an art; let us show you.
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. In addition to 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. Etali has a site where we serve bush breakfasts and dinners, weather permitting.

★★★★★ Our stay at Etali was absolutely fabulous. John D and Doctor - thanks for the amazing game drives. Jaycee, I'm convinced I'm gonna be the envy of all my friends with my new cheesecake recipe. Can't wait to try it. To all the staff, especially the cleaners, whom I never got to see, our room was always perfect like our stay. My best local holiday ever.
