Madikwe - help with deciding on a lodge!
 
We are planning our 50th birthday celebration with our three teens and would love something a little special in Madikwe for 3 nights in October. We have been recommended Jaci's and although it looks amazing, we are put off by the lack of views from the rooms (surrounded by bush). Another recommendation was Rhulani, which has lovely views, but we don't know much about it. Has anyone been to these lodges or would you recommend anything else? We would love a Hide and a view over an active waterhole. Thank you SO much for replying.

We stayed twice at Buffalo Ridge and loved it. No water hole overlook, but terrific views out toward the lights of Gaborone in the far distance. A real selling point to us was that it's owned by the local community. Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve

Consider going to The Royal Madikwe Safari Lodge it's very beautiful and peaceful
