etali safari lodge

(8 luxurious air-conditioned suites)

Etali lies in the heart of Madikwe, a 75 000 hectare malaria-free Big Five game reserve bordering Botswana, a short 50 minute flight or 3,5 hours drive from Johannesburg.

Meaning “place of new beginnings”, Etali offers a soul safari for the senses and the use of natural textures and materials creates a relaxing and holistic ambience.

Walkways lead to stylish and spacious thatched chalets with sweeping views of the bush. Decorated in a classic contemporary and minimalistic style, rooms are a blend of earthy colours offering every comfort, with crisp cotton linen and air-conditioning. Cool off in the luxury of your own outdoor whirlpool, sipping a sundowner from the deck as you watch the sun slip below the horison, or relax alongside the swimming pool at the main lodge.

Game drives in open vehicles offer the opportunity for close encounters of the wild kind, with sightings of elephant, lion and the rare African wild dog.

cuisine

Etali’s cuisine is a fusion of traditional African and Asian. Meals are light and healthy with lots of fresh seasonal and organically grown vegetables, fruit and herbs. Dine indoors or around the fire in the kraal under the starlit night sky.

wellness centre

Etali’s core philosophy of natural health is based on holism and incorporates healing and rejuvenating body, mind and spirit. Etali's state-of the-art Wellness Centre is a unique concept that allows you to discover how fantastically good you really can feel.

Experience the sensory pleasures of the unique reflexology walkway of rock, sand and soothing running water, or aromatherapy massages, an Indian head massage, hot-stone therapy, bodywraps, facials, and of course the sauna and mini-gym facilities. Relax in the caring hands of qualified therapists, sheltered from the sun in the open-air centre, or one of the treatment rooms overlooking the endless savannah.
