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. ... more less

“Amazing experience, highly recommend”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

My husband and I stayed here in Nov on our honeymoon to SA and I'm so glad we picked this "economy" lodge vs one of the pricier places out there (which I wanted, lol). Clean, comfortable, relaxing, lots of animals to see and a beautiful property with a pool! Obviously the watering hole (and the hide!) are awesome, and we... More

“Woderful hotel”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

I spent my final night in Madikwe in the Bush House after 4 days at the Eco Bush Camp. My stay was brief but all the staff made me feel very welcome and made my stay a pleasant experience. Everyone was very friendly and the young guide was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the reserve. The hotel was... More

Our family of 12 spent three glorious days at The Bush House. Not only was the accommodation and service superb but the game was just amazing. From rare wild dogs - to 10 lion cubs feeding on a zebra carcass - 27 elephants at The Bush House waterhole....and more. The staff were so wonderful - caring for our youngest member... More

“Awesome! Perfect compromise between accessibility and wilderness!”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

We just returned from a trip to South Africa and ended our vacation with four nights at The Bush House. Having been in the "bush" across southern Africa in some pretty remote places before our kids were born, we were a little worried that the proximity to a big city (Jo'burg is less than 4 hours away) may make the...

“The only place to stay in Madikwe!”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

We spent four fantastic nights at the Bush House and were so sad to leave. The owners made us so welcome...felt like being part of a family. The lodge is extremely comfortable...luxury without being pretentious. We had been travelling for two months and this was our last stop. The Bush house had ticks in the box for our wish list....great... More

How good to hear from you and we really appreciate your feedback. It was way too quiet after you left and we missed the quirky humour ! More

“Great Safari”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

Had a chance for a quick stopover at the Bush House in 2012. Even though the stop was last minute, the staff and owners could not have been more welcoming. We saw the big 5 and were treated like royalty. The food, service, and show were perfect. I am planning a retirement trip to include my family and the Bush... More

We had a fantastic stay at Madikwe. We were four persons who had The Bush House for our selfs for two days. We can say that we had safari all night long because the water hole was full of animals from morning until night! Doiry, who was our ranger was really knowledgeable on both animals and plants.

“Excellent place for a young, family bush experience”

Reviewed 9 January 2013

The Bush House is situated in the Madikwe National Park along the border of South Africa and Botswana. We went with two young children (2 and 5 years old). They provided an excellent service and the fenced off lodge meant we weren't worried about the children's safety (as well as being in a malaria-free area). They also have a hide... More

“Nice place, lousy guide”

We had a mixed experience at the Bush House. The building itself is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, and the watering hole is amazing. Watching the animals at the watering hole, especially the night that a herd of Cape Buffalo came was very impressive. The food was pretty good, but I was impressed with how attentive the staff was to... More
