Inside the New Suites at Tuningi
Tuningi Safari Lodge has always promised an experience of understated luxury in the heart of Madikwe Game Reserve – and now, with the recent refurbishment of its suites, the lodge offers an even more refined blend of comfort, privacy and immersion in the bush.
A Relaxed Escape in Big 5 Country
With only six suites in total – four Luxury and two Family Suites – Tuningi accommodates just 16 guests at any one time, ensuring an exclusive and tranquil stay. Each suite is tucked into the natural landscape and designed to take full advantage of the surrounding bushveld, with private wrap-around timber decks, splash pools, and frequent wildlife sightings right from your sunlounger.
The Family Suites: Space, Style & Connection
Perfect for families or small groups, the two Family Suites strike a balance between generous space and stylish comfort. Each includes:
- Two en-suite double bedrooms
- A large central lounge ideal for shared moments
- A private thatched deck for alfresco meals and wildlife viewing
- A splash pool that invites a midday dip, often with zebra or impala grazing nearby
Inside, the main bedroom features a king-sized bed, a spacious bathroom with double vanities, a luxurious extra-length bathtub, and a rain shower that opens out to an outdoor rock shower – allowing you to reconnect with nature in true safari style.
Wrapped in fine percale linen, cooled by air-conditioning and ceiling fans, and completed with thoughtful touches like bath salts, robes, mosquito nets, and even wildlife reference books – the Family Suites offer a seamless combination of comfort and character.
The Luxury Suites: Intimate Bushveld Bliss
Ideal for couples or solo travellers, the Luxury Suites are private havens connected by elevated wooden walkways to the main lodge. Each suite features:
- A king-sized bed and cozy lounge area
- A bathroom sanctuary with his-and-hers basins, a soaking tub, and both indoor and outdoor showers
- A wrap-around deck with 180-degree bush views
- Your own plunge pool, perfect for unwinding after game drives
From sunrise coffees on your deck to late-afternoon dips while listening to bird calls, the suites are designed to slow you down and draw you closer to nature.
Details That Make the Difference
No matter which suite you choose, you’ll enjoy:
- Private splash pools with panoramic bush views
- Air-conditioning & heating for year-round comfort
- Inclusive mini-bars stocked on request
