Africa’s big game abounds in the Madikwe Game Reserve and with Tuningi’s highly qualified game rangers guests are enlightened with their knowledge and passion of the fauna and flora within the reserve.
Tuningi is one of the few five-star game lodges in South Africa that is family friendly and will enthusiastically introduce your children to the wonders of the wild, with careful regard for their safety.
MORNING & AFTERNOON GAME DRIVES Each day brings something different, as you explore the endless fascination of Africa’s wildlife in an open, state-of-the-art Land Cruiser with a roof for sun protection in the summer months. Whether it is a leopard on the hunt, lions roaring at twilight, dung beetles going about their business, or birds building a nest – all can offer an amazing experience!
Regrettably, due to safety concerns, children under 6 years of age are unable to participate in game-drives (shorter kiddies game drives can be arrange after breakfast). But Tuningi does not forget about the little ones...
