Jamala Madikwe Royal Safari Lodge

Tucked away in the far north of South Africa is a 75000 hectare, malaria-free wilderness inhabited by a profusion of species from Vervet monkeys to Leopard and - of course - the odd very fortunate human. Madikwe is widely acknowledged as being one of the finest conservation areas in Africa. The sheer, unadulterated wilderness of this place is breathtaking, as is this remarkable lodge - crafted from an exquisite palate of rich woods, raw stone and soft muted tones. Elegantly proportioned suites offer individual rim-flow pools, sweeping wooden decks and private outdoor showers. Guest facilities are of the highest quality whilst service is attentive and warm, never intrusive. Designer dining is of the highest standard and a team of Chef's prepare gourmet dishes for guests who dine within the plush surrounds of the elegant dining room, al'fresco beneath a million stars for those glorious african evenings, or in the privacy of their beautifully appointed rooms.

Jamala is the Swahili word for "natural elegance". Elegant (adj.) - is defined as "graceful and stylish; pleasantly ingenious and simple".

Safari is another Swahili word that means "journey" or "to travel", but has come to mean so very much more. Imbued with a sense of the exotic, more typically a sense of Africa, the word safari has today become symbolic of something far more romantic; it evokes images of adventure and stylish indulgence.

The malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve is a 75 000 ha region of untamed beauty located in South Africa's North West. This wild terrain boasts a tapestry of landscapes that encompasses vast open plains, dense bushveld and towering rocky peaks. All of which offers sanctuary to a kaleidoscope of creatures, including the "Super Seven".

Tradition and eccentricity are tastefully united in an atmosphere that knows no equal. Jamala Madikwe reflects a classic sense of style that is sufficiently robust to match the savage beauty that lies beyond
