Located in the heart of South Africa, amid flora and fauna of all varieties, is Jaci’s Safari Lodge. The lodge is situated on the edge of the Marico River and offers exceptional views of the surrounding landscape, as well as the chance to say hello to your wild neighbors.
Madikwe Safari Reserve provides the perfect setting for this lodge to give you a simply majestic experience. The Reserve is one of the best safari spots in South Africa and boasts a malaria-free reserve with over 75,000 hectares of pristine wilderness.
Jaci’s Safari Lodge teams offer a memorable wedding and honeymoon experience. The Madikwe Bush Wedding Experience is fast becoming a popular choice for those looking to get married. Jaci and Jann personally promise that your experience will be personal and unforgettable by providing everything you need to ensure your special day runs smoothly.
The lodge consists of 8 rooms and 2 family suites, each with individual style and design, the impeccable attention to detail makes Jaci’s Safari Lodge something of a diamond in the rough. The decoration is rustic and simple, with exquisite colors and textures that reflect the environment simply, but with great effect. Recently renovated and spruced up, the family safari suites look immaculate, wrapping around the private pool and offering a fusion of indoor and outdoor space. The suites can accommodate between 5 and 8 people and have their own pool, driving guide and chef. Both Jaci and Jann designed the new suites and are delighted with the results which turned the safari suite into a delightful family unit.
The eating facilities at the lodge are amazing, the skilled chefs create authentic rustic dishes using a modern indoor kitchen as well as a wonderful outdoor BBQ, the sense of community and family dining is a welcome part of the stay afforded by the perfect opportunity to discuss the events of the day over a plate of amazing food and a glass of locally produced wine. A lovely element of Jaci’s lodge is the way each dinner is taken in a different location, often under the stars with a roaring fire creating atmosphere and warmth.
Overall the lodge is one of the best resorts in Africa let alone Madikwe, the facilities available for children allow families to enjoy a South African safari adventure in style. The units are superbly designed with David answering questions from everyone (especially the kids) providing an informed friend in the strangest of settings.
