The Bush House
Safari isnt just safari anymore, and game lodges aren't all alike. Every visit really does need to be special and every moment something to be remembered forever. The Bush House is not your typical game lodge. It is an old farmhouse that after years of family laughter and happiness, has been transformed into an inviting and relaxing residence that encourages guests to kick off their shoes and unwind.
Set in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, its your home in Big 5 country. We have five en-suite rooms each tastefully furnished and equipped with air-conditioning, fans, hairdryers, coffee and tea facilities and percale linen. The en-suite bathrooms have separate showers and baths and have toiletries supplied.
Our chefs create a wonderful culinary repertoire whether it is breakfast in the garden, afternoon tea packed with treats or a fire lit dinner in the boma. Relax in the shaded garden overlooking the best waterhole in Madikwe or lounge at the pool watching the game come and drink.
Experience our new underground hide. View all the animals and birds coming to drink up close from the safety of the hide. Take photographs you would never believe possible.
There are two game drives daily conducted under the expertise of our fully qualified field guides. Thats why people come back to The Bush House, again and again. For most of our guests its just like that, like coming home - even for the first time.
Make the Bush House your home away from home.

31 March 2011"The Bush House and gardens are beautiful and we had a wonderful stay. It was magical sitting watching the animals at the waterhole and I will never forget lying in bed and listening to the roar of a lion. The meals were superb and the staff excellent, friendly and attentive with a great eye for detail. The game drives were fantastic and exciting, thanks to our guide, Jacques, who is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable he was able to seek out even the most elusive animals, and we learned so much from him."

"Wonderful"
11 November 2008"My wife and I had a wonderful time. Attentive staff, great food, fantastic accommodations, and exciting safari rides. We had a great room with many 8 foot windows overlooking the water hole. Safari Now reviews were spot on. As the picture and name indicates, The Bush House is a house not a lodge."

"Wonderful staff"
28 July 2008"My family and I had a fantastic time. We saw all the game we could have hoped for and more, but more importantly, my wife and I could go out on the game drives and not have to worry one bit about our 18-month-old son back at the lodge. The staff did a great job taking care of him. I'd highly recommend The Bush House to anyone traveling with kids."

"Great Service"
30 July 2007"What I liked about the place the most was the unpretentious service. It was all first class but not over the top which some lodges can be. The staff had just the right amount of care and attention to come across as sincere and I think they really like working there.All in all a super weekend - thank you. And best value for money!"
