Safari Experience

Tuningi’s highly qualified game rangers create passion in guests for the environment and wildlife, with safaris either on foot or in 4 x 4 open-air, game viewing vehicles. Africa’s big game abounds in the Madikwe Game Reserve. Each day brings something different, as you explore the endless fascination of Africa’s wildlife in an open, state-of-the-art Land Cruiser with a roof for sun protection in the summer months. Whether it is a leopard on the hunt, lions roaring at twilight, dung beetles going about their business, or birds building a nest – an amazing experience awaits!

Tuningi’s highly qualified game rangers have a skill for making guests feel passionate about the environment and wildlife while offering a unique opportunity for those willing to be educated on many aspects of wildlife and bush etiquette.  As well as game drives there is no better way of getting closer to nature than on foot with your equipped ranger.

Our traditional boma is a truly memorable way to experience an evening under the African night sky. Fine cuisine and wines can be sampled while sitting near a warm, crackling fire. This is the perfect opportunity to reminisce, share and discuss the days sightings and experiences.

End off the evening with a sumptuous dessert and a nightcap before bidding farewell to the simmering fire to the calling of your suite.

New in 2018 is the introduction of an underground hide for those low angle shots of elephants, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, kudu, impala etc as they bend down to drink at the waterhole.
