Is the Jaci's Private Lodge for Me?

After a major flood and full rebuild, Jaci’s returns brighter, bolder, and more beautiful than ever. Family-owned for over two decades and proudly supported by a staff trust, Jaci’s remains one of Madikwe’s most beloved, soulful safari lodges.

Once known as Jaci’s Safari Lodge and Tree Lodge, the property is now united under one name: Jaci’s. Ten brand-new Safari Suites offer spacious interiors, luxurious finishes, and private decks that open onto a year-round riverine, with views stretching into the Tambuti forest beyond. Completing the experience are three exclusive-use villas: Nare Villa, Kubu Villa, and Jaci’s Madikwe House ideal for families or groups looking for privacy and comfort.

Blending natural stone and timber with bold, contemporary African style, Jaci’s strikes the perfect balance between modern design and authentic safari character. Expansive living spaces, glass-fronted walls, and serene Tamboti forest views bring the bush indoors, creating a calm and connected atmosphere.

Between game drives, relax with a massage, enjoy the stillness of the forest and year round riverine, or share stories around the fire as the sounds of Madikwe come alive at dusk. Every element reflects the warmth, love, and heart that define Jaci’s.

Please note: Jaci’s is currently closed and will reopen in July 2026.
