“Fabulous family holiday”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

Our family of 12 spent three glorious days at The Bush House. Not only was the accommodation and service superb but the game was just amazing. From rare wild dogs - to 10 lion cubs feeding on a zebra carcass - 27 elephants at The Bush House waterhole....and more. The staff were so wonderful - caring for our youngest member... More

“Awesome! Perfect compromise between accessibility and wilderness!”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

We just returned from a trip to South Africa and ended our vacation with four nights at The Bush House. Having been in the "bush" across southern Africa in some pretty remote places before our kids were born, we were a little worried that the proximity to a big city (Jo'burg is less than 4 hours away) may make the...

“The only place to stay in Madikwe!”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

We spent four fantastic nights at the Bush House and were so sad to leave. The owners made us so welcome...felt like being part of a family. The lodge is extremely comfortable...luxury without being pretentious. We had been travelling for two months and this was our last stop. The Bush house had ticks in the box for our wish list....great... More

How good to hear from you and we really appreciate your feedback. It was way too quiet after you left and we missed the quirky humour ! More

“Great Safari”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

Had a chance for a quick stopover at the Bush House in 2012. Even though the stop was last minute, the staff and owners could not have been more welcoming. We saw the big 5 and were treated like royalty. The food, service, and show were perfect. I am planning a retirement trip to include my family and the Bush... More

“On an great safari”

Reviewed 1 February 2013

We had a fantastic stay at Madikwe. We were four persons who had The Bush House for our selfs for two days. We can say that we had safari all night long because the water hole was full of animals from morning until night! Doiry, who was our ranger was really knowledgeable on both animals and plants. The rooms and... More

“Excellent place for a young, family bush experience”

Reviewed 9 January 2013

The Bush House is situated in the Madikwe National Park along the border of South Africa and Botswana. We went with two young children (2 and 5 years old). They provided an excellent service and the fenced off lodge meant we weren't worried about the children's safety (as well as being in a malaria-free area). They also have a hide... More

“Nice place, lousy guide”

Reviewed 3 January 2013

We had a mixed experience at the Bush House. The building itself is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, and the watering hole is amazing. Watching the animals at the watering hole, especially the night that a herd of Cape Buffalo came was very impressive. The food was pretty good, but I was impressed with how attentive the staff was to... More

Thank you for your feedback on you stay with us. It is most unfortuneate that you were unhappy with Thomas.

Reviewed 8 December 2012

My mother and I stayed at the Bush House for 4 nights in mid-November and we had the best time! The property is small enough that you get personalized service and the staff go out of their way to get to know you and treat you like family. Our room was clean and spacious. The food was excellent! We had... More

Many thanks for your kind comments. I hope the boot is now off and you are footloose and fancy free! Keep well and safe. More

“Lovely place!”

Really enjoyed our stay at The Bush House. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The food was beautiful and we really enjoyed the trips out to look for wildlife.
