We were lucky. South african friends told us that if we wanted a special safaria holiday "go to Madikwe", and if we wanted a very special trip "go to Jaci's Tree Lodge". We followed their advice and what a magnificent time we had for my husband's special birthday. Two three and a half hour off-road game drives per day, unbeatable... More

Amazing, a word used by our enthusiastic game ranger (Charis) to describe every siting, sunset and moment and also the word we chose to describe the time we spent at Jaci's Tree Lodge. AMAZING! On arrival every staff member greeted us with a friendly smile, making us feel welcome and comfortable. Every game drive was filled with excitement, enthusiasm, learning,... More

Location and people are great. Our guide Francois was a wealth of knowledge. To get there u need to spend 1.5 hrs on dirt roads that are pretty rough; not sure why they don't pay to tar them. Also, for the price es paid, paying extra for water and non-alcoholic drinks is a bit sloppy. The room service was also... More

Thank you so much for your constructive feedback. I applogize for the bad 30km dirt road that you had to drive to get into the Molatedi gate. This road is unfortunately a municipal road and not a part of our beutiful game reserve. After the rain we have had it is truly not the best road with a sedan as... More

If i woke in the dream it was just to see the 50 elephants in the lodge waterhole. The game drives were each more exciting than the last and Thomas smiled and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. I couldn't have imagined i would be so close to all the fantastic wildlife, only a short and thrilling... More

Stayed at the lodge with my wife and 2 children (aged 9 & 10) as part of my 50th birthday celebration for 3 nights during February. The best holiday experience we've ever had.
