Impossible to find the right words to describe our experience at Tuningi! OUTSTANDING! By far, the best experience we've ever had traveling to South Africa (2 adults + 11yeras old girl). We had 2 safaris adventure per day; one at 6am in the morning and one in the afternoon (catching both the sunrise and the sunset every day). Almost 7... More

We spent two nights at Tuningi. The lodge has a very appealing rustic luxury theme and is nestled into the surrounding bush. There is a busy waterhole in front of the lodge offering good game viewing opportunities. The food was great, the only complaint (if any) was that there was too much of it! Fantastic game drives, we saw "the... More

The second visit following a wonderful previous holiday: would it live up to the memories, the expectation the long held dream? The answer was a firm and resounding yes. Tuningi staff welcomed us as returning family, the accommodation, the lodge and staff were exactly as we remembered. First class and friendly. If there were no animals to be seen, this... More

I chose Madikwe as a side trip during a business trip to Johannesburg in 2007 because I was afraid of the posibility of malaria in other reserves in SA. The experience colud not have been better.

We spent 3 nights in Tuningi. Loved the whole experience. Great accommodation - fantastic food. Great couple run the lodge and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent game drives and great meals by the boma on our return from the afternoon drive. Would highly recommend it.

Tuningi is a wonderful lodge for an adventure in Madikwe. First and foremost, the staff is excellent: they were warm, welcoming, and attentive, perfectly so. The lodge is well-appointed and is nicely situated next to a water hole, and several times during our stay elephants came to drink and play in the water. The food was outstanding, and the lodge...
