Lodge of the Week - Tuningi Safari Lodge



Creature Comforts

Tuningi Safari Lodge is a 5-star lodge that markets itself as ‘colonial African chic’. Accommodating only 16 guests, Tuningi offers an intimate bush experience at the renowned Madikwe Game Reserve. The main lodge flows comfortably between the rim flow swimming pool and outdoor seating area with lots of space for guests to meander about between game drives. A short walk along a wooden walkway, underneath an old fig tree, is a lovely deck area that functions as a bird viewing area by day and an outdoor dining area by night. Staff will recall frequent sightings of animals wandering past while guests relax in the swimming pool. The eight rooms are spread out and the uneven walkways may not be ideal for physically challenged guests. The en-suite bathrooms offer baths with a view and an outdoor shower only. Tuningi offers a well planned and exciting children’s program that makes it an ideal option for families. The exclusive use option of Little Tuningi is beautifully laid out and the best choice for a family group who wish to be on their own. The lodge offers guests two swimming pools and when there are children in camp, the second pool becomes a children’s area. Honeymoon guests are treated to private outdoor dinners and romantic starlit swims.

As the fourth largest game reserve, covering 75 000 hectare, Madikwe has a reputation for its’ successful introduction of the endangered African Wild Dog. The big 5 are all on offer here and the reserve has a bird life to delight any bird enthusiast. Madikwe Game Reserve is one of the few reserves in southern Africa that is malaria free. Located in South Africa along the Botswana border and 20 kilometres from Gaberone, the reserve lies within a transition region between Lowveld bushveld and the Kalahari thornveld. As a result the region is host to an incredible diversity of species from both ecosystems. Geographically the region has enormous volcanic intrusions known as Inselbergs, which adds a grandiose backdrop to the rolling hills on the horizon.

Tuninngi prides itself on their family orientated experience and comes highly recommended for family groups. The lodge is also ideal for couples and honeymoon packages. Little Tuningi offers superior exclusivity for those wishing to be more discreet.
