REVIEW

Glorious First Safari

My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at the Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge […] We had two drives a day, led by our amazing and knowledgeable guide Althi and excellent tracker Sidney. They made sure we were treated to seeing many animals, including zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, and more. Each drive included a break with drinks and snacks. The food was very good. The service excellent. All in all, a memorable experience in South Africa.
