Overview of Jaci’s Safari Lodge
Jaci’s Safari Lodge is a privately owned lodge situated in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. The lodge is built under a grove of tamboti trees on the edge of the Marico River.
Between early morning and evening game drives, relax in the spacious lounge area or beside the swimming pool which offers excellent views of the river or venture down to the Terrapin Hide to photograph these and other creatures going about their lives.
Basking under a very temperate climate, Jaci’s Safari Lodge offers two enticing outdoor activities: you can work off the delicious meals in the open-air gym and then full asleep on one of the romantic starbeds, the star-scattered night sky shimmering above you.
This is a fantastic lodge for those travelling with children, and the Nare and Safari Suites are ideal for families or small groups.
