Safari isn’t just safari anymore…. And game lodges aren’t all alike. Every visit really does need to be special and every moment something to be remembered forever.The Bush House is not your typical Game lodge. The Lodge is set in the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. It is an old farmhouse that after years of family laughter and happiness has been transformed into an inviting and relaxing residence that encourages guests to kick off their shoes and unwind.

I added a two-night stay to the Bush House over New Years with a group of friends - what a better way to avoid the Covid pandemic than hiding away in the bush! As always, the service at the Bush House was top notch with the team remaining as friendly as always. Damien provided great guiding, with the highlights including a leopard roaming in the second morning, proceeded quickly by a lioness and her adolescent cubs.

Just returned from my fourth stay at The Bush House. Being a malaria free area so no need for prophylaxes and only about a four hour drive it is very uncomplicated to be there. It is indeed so welcoming and one is made to feel like an honoured guest by the warm, friendly, helpful staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. The room was well appointed and with the bathroom, had all the little niceties to ensure your comfort. Food was delicious and my grandchildren were able to choose their favourites from the Children's menu. Damian, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, patiently explaining the special features of the bush and even went to the trouble of providing a small stepladder to make getting into and out of the game-viewing vehicle easy. He also went to a great deal of…

Spent 4 wonderful days at the Bush House with our nearest and dearest. This place never fails to impress, a real home away from home in beautiful Madikwe. The Bush house family always make us feel so spoilt and thank you to Sue and Gordon for allowing us to have the whole lodge for our holiday. A real MUST on your list of bush destinations!!

It is always such a pleasure having you with us and just as much so with this family visit. The sound of children playing in the garden is one of the best. Thank you very much for your kind feedback and we look forward to your stay in March.

I couldn’t have picked a better place to take my lovely wife on our belated 15th anniversary! From the moment I made the booking until we left in the pouring rain, the staff carried us on their hands! The food was so delicious and even more importantly, I didn’t leave the table still wanting more. They even had my favourite non-alcoholic beer in stock and a bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly waited in our room after one afternoon game drive! Now to the reason for which we al go to Madikwe- the game drives! Our guide was truly that! Damian’s wide knowledge of, not only the flashy ‘Big 5’ and other popular animals, but also the vast bird life as well as flora, was clearly identified and even explained! We ended up ticking off 73 birds on our new bird app! My first time in the…
