Designed to deliver an unforgettable stay in the Madikwe Game Reserve, The Bush House is an owner-managed safari lodge known for its warm hospitality and personal touch. Once an old farmhouse, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a welcoming retreat with a relaxed, home-like atmosphere.
Located in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve — one of South Africa’s hidden safari gems — The Bush House offers incredible Big 5 encounters without the large crowds often found in more famous reserves. Instead, guests are treated to sightings of elephants, buffalo, rhino, and more in peaceful surroundings. A standout feature is the underground hide, accessible via a garden path, which allows for close-up wildlife viewing at the waterhole.
With only six en-suite rooms, the lodge ensures privacy and exclusivity. Four rooms boast private verandahs, one overlooks the garden and waterhole, and another is set beside a tranquil water feature. Guests can cool off in the swimming pool, unwind in the garden, or enjoy al fresco dinners beneath the African night sky.
