Highly recommended. We had an unforgettable stay at this game lodge! The secluded and private setting provided the perfect escape from our daily routine. The lodge itself was impeccably clean and neat, adding to our comfort and peace of mind. One of the highlights of our visit was the incredible wildlife. Being so close to the animals in their natural habitat was a truly magical experience. The self-catering option was ideal for us. The facilities were well-equipped, allowing us to prepare our own meals and enjoy them at our own pace. This added an extra layer of flexibility and comfort to our stay. Rob went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Overall, this game lodge provided the perfect getaway for our anniversary. We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a serene and adventurous escape.

Excellently delicious! Our weekend at Madikela Game Lodge was excellent. The cabin was very neat and tastefully furnished with everything we could need. The porch with the "hot tub" was a winner! We enjoyed the most beautiful view of the bushveld.

Uitstekend lekker! Ons naweek by Madikela Game Lodge was uitstekend lekker. Die karet wat baie netjies en smaaklik gemeubileer was met alles wat ons nodig kon hê. Die stoep met die "hot tub" was 'n wenner! Ons het die mooiste uitsig oor die bosveld geniet.

Breathtakingly beautiful! Very comfortable and spotlessly clean! I am doing this review in English because of our hosts at Madikela. We had an incredible time and could not have asked for a more perfect room for our 35th anniversary. The personal note from the hosts that greeted us on our arrival was heartfelt and so considerate. The arranged wood for the braai was already delivered to our cottage on our arrival. Greystone cottage was perfect! We didn't make use of the other facilities because we had a spectacular view; the birdbath caused more than enough entertainment. The hot tub/jacuzzi with a few snacks was all the comfort we required. It was our first visit but definitely not our last.

A relaxing escape at Madikela Game Lodge – perfect for nature lovers and pets. Our stay at Madikela Game Lodge was absolutely wonderful! The lodge offered an excellent balance of value and experience, making it a perfect getaway. From the peaceful surroundings to the facilities, everything was designed to help guests relax and connect with nature. We loved the hiking trails and the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the outdoors. One of the highlights of our trip was that we could bring our dogs along. It was such a joy to see them exploring the trails, running freely, and enjoying the fresh air just as much as we did. This pet-friendly policy made our stay even more memorable! During our visit, there was one power outage, but since we always travel with backup lamps, it didn’t affect us much. However, it might be something for the lodge to consider improving in the future. Overall, our time at Madikela was incredible. We’re already looking forward to returning and will happily recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat—especially those who want to include their furry friends in the adventure!

Silence, rest. The silence and scenery were breathtaking. There are new owners. They are young and busy with upgrades, which is very good. This was the 3rd time I went and every time is wonderful.

Stilte, rus. Die stilte en natuurskoon was asemrowend. Daar is nuwe eienaars. Hulle is jonk en besig met opgraderings, wat baie goed is. Dit was die 3de keer wat ek gegaan het en elke keer is heerlik.

Wonderful, fantastic and peaceful in the forest. Our stay was just fantastic. Ideal long weekend getaway. We went jogging on the farm in the mornings and saw lots of wildlife. Saw several birds from the deck while enjoying the small pool in the heat. Will definitely be back at Madikela for a weekend getaway.

Heerlik, fantasties en sielsrus in die bos. Ons verblyf was net fantasties. Ideale lang naweek wegbreek. Ons het die oggende gaan draf op die plaas en baie wild gesien. Het verskeie voëls van die dek af gesien terwyl ons die klein swembad in die hitte geniet het. Sal vir seker weer by Madikela aanklop vir 'n wegbreek naweek.

Flintstone unit. Heavenly. We were one with nature. We can describe our stay in 1 word: heavenly. We didn't want to go home. Carol is a wonderful hostess. We highly recommend Madikela.

Flintstone eenheid. Hemels. Ons was 1 met die natuur. Ons kan ons verblyf in 1 woord beskryf: hemels. Ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie. Carol is 'n wonderlike gasvrou. Ons beveel Madikela hoog aan.
