Etali Safari Lodge offers a captivating array of experiences that promise an unforgettable getaway. Embarking on a Big 5 safari adventure is undoubtedly the highlight of any Etali stay. Beyond the safari, Etali offers an exquisite dining experience with a fusion of African flavors and international cuisines. For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the wellness center at Etali offers a serene oasis, where guests can unwind and indulge in luxurious spa treatments, leaving them refreshed and invigorated amidst the tranquil beauty of the African wilderness.

Our spacious suites are tucked into the granite rock and tamboti trees of the koppies (meaning small hills) on which the lodge is built. Each suite was designed and situated to be set apart for privacy in its own bushveld domain, to immerse guests in the refuge of the bush.

The lodge has a minimalist design, incorporating boulders, trees and other elements from the surrounding hillside. The mix of cool and earthy colours in the decor is peaceful and compliments the beauty of nature. The architectural and design intent was that the suites allow guests to focus on the bush.

Safaris at Etali are something special. Every day in the bush brings a new experience. We offer twice daily safaris in modified open Land Cruiser game vehicles, which include a canvas roof for sun protection.

Vehicles in Madikwe are allowed to drive off-road for sightings of the Big 5, and unusual sightings. Game drives of all lodges in the reserve are connected via a radio system, which increases the number of sightings. In addition, the number of vehicles at sightings are limited to ensure intimate and private experiences.
