These two exceptional, privately owned lodges - run by Jan and Jaci, together with an outstanding team - will exceed all your safari expectations. Situated in the MALARIA FREE Madikwe Game Reserve boasting 75,000 hectares of BIG FIVE 'territory'. You can also expect to see Wild Dog, both Black and White Rhino, extensive plains game, including Sable, Gemsbok, Springbok and Giraffe, as well as over 340 species of birds.

We at Jaci's Safari Lodge and Jaci's Tree Lodge, invite you to share the wildness of Africa in the exclusive luxury of one (or both) of our magnificent Lodges. Arrive by air after an easy 45 minute flight from Gauteng, or enjoy a scenic 3 and a half hour drive to the entrance of the Reserve. We look forward to welcoming you to this 'must see' destination and promise you a superb bush experience enhanced by our personal service.

Jaci's Safari Lodge masterfully blends into its surroundings, encompassing a magnificent main area built around an ancient termite mound. The location was discovered and the concept envisaged by Jan in combination with Jaci's colourful decorating style and attention to detail you are sure of a memorable and unique Safari experience. Featuring only eight large rooms and the exclusive 2 bed-roomed "Nare Suite" - all built with shaggy thatched roofs, canvas walls and large tented windows - to create a true safari atmosphere, inviting you to enjoy your bush surroundings. Early risers may catch a glimpse of Bush Babies returning to roost in the trees around the rooms or enjoy the morning Francolin calls. The generous Main Lodge consists of a spacious lounge and open plan dining area with uninterrupted views of the bush. Enjoy fire cooked meals in our enclosed boma, or under the stars at a bush braai. Lounge at the pool or enjoy bird watching from the hammock on the bank of the Groot Marico River. Indulge yourself in your surroundings.

Jaci's Tree Lodge opened in December 2002 - with Eight "Tree Houses", each encompassing a giant Tamboti or Leadwood Tree. Each “Tree House” is constructed amongst the Riverine forest on stilts, up to 6 meters above the ground. In these spacious “Tree Houses” – built utilizing a combination of rosewood, thatch and stacking doors - the forest surrounds are invited in, to compliment your stay with us. An open plan, en-suite bathroom with an enormous stone bath and outdoor “Jungle Shower” allow you to enjoy your forest surrounds. Relax, on the deck in front of your room, in the main lodge or wander to the forest pool to cool off. Raised wooden walkways, suspended in the forest canopy and lining the banks of the Marico River, connect with the extraordinary Main Lodge and its generous facilities.

Children of all ages are very welcome at Jaci's. Children aged 12 and under sharing with their parents qualify for a special Kiddies rate, which includes child minders and the "jungle drive". Children aged 8 - 12 are allowed on the adults drive and will be given dinner in the dining room on their return from the evening drive (no children 12 and under allowed in the boma). The little ones (aged 0 - 7) are taken on a separate "jungle drive" during the day - this is anything from 1/2 an hour to an hour and a half depending on the interest levels of the kiddies on the drive. Parents are welcome to come along BUT must not behave like adults!!! Child minders look after your treasures while you are on drive and dinner is served @ 18.00 in the dining room.
