Mariana

My husband and I loved our stay at the Bush House. We stayed there for three nights and wish we could have stayed more. The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Our game ranger Damien was excellent and we will never forget all the animals we saw. The underground hide is brilliant. Wish we could return one day. Thank you, Mariana and Armando

Tolle Unterkunft mit schön eingerichteten und sauberen Zimmern. Schöne Gartenanlage mit vielen Vögeln. Das Wasserloch mit Underground Hide war ein Highlight! Engagierter Ranger mit dem wir tolle Gamedrives und Sightings hatten. Wir würden wieder hinfahren.

Splendid Game experience
Absolutely excellent experience. Two wonderful game drives each day, good food and drink. The house and grounds are lovely and don't forget the waterhole with its underground hide, just before we left a group of elephants appeared and I was just a few feet from them, splendid.

Cristiane

Our stay there was perfect. They took care of all the details. All we had to do was enjoy the nature, the fantastic game drives, the delicious food and wine. Our ranger, Ashley, was fantastic. She made everything she could to provide us the best experience with the animals and she suceeded!!! We had unforgattable moments with lions, elephants, rinos, hypos and the nice zebras. All of them with their babies. Madikwe game reserve is not crowded and it leads to special moments observing the wild life.
