Jaci's Safari Lodge sits in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa, within malaria-free reserve country on South Africa's Kalahari edge. The setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape, with wildlife, light and distance shaping the sense of place before each day’s safari begins.
From the UK, access is usually via Johannesburg or Cape Town, followed by a scheduled flight, road transfer or charter depending on the reserve.
South Africa is generally one of the easiest safari countries logistically, especially for families and first-time travellers.
