Tuningi Safari Lodge is one of the few ultra luxurious camps created with families in mind. A maximum of sixteen guests can be accommodated in the wonderfully spacious rooms and suites, which are split between the main area and the smaller and totally private Little Tuningi for optimum exclusivity. Traditional safari style flows throughout the camps – the use of natural materials, chunky timber furnishings, thatched roofs and exposed beams blend perfectly with the rugged landscape. The lodge is situated in a private section of the vast Madikwe Game Reserve, and this region is renowned for its exciting game viewing.




Four spacious suites are connected to the main camp by wooden walkways, and the use of natural thatch, timbers and stone in soft organic colours gives a beautifully relaxed yet ultra luxurious feel. All are en-suite, with fireplaces, fabulous outdoor rock showers and private wrap-around wooden decks. A short distance from the main camp is Little Tuningi - a double family suite and additional villa offering a sumptuous private option, with its own viewing deck, boma and swimming pool.
