Set deep in the heart of the Madikwe Game Reserve, Etali is most definitely a grown-ups paradise in the bush. Intimate and exclusive, it is a place of relaxation amongst nature where body and soul are rejuvenated by people who understand luxury.

Nestled in sweet-thorn acacia trees, eight thatched suites are privately positioned, each with whirlpools set on open decks and with indoor and outdoor showers. Complementing the bush experience, a lavish Wellness Centre offers specialist treatments with qualified therapists. Again set under thatch, there is no better way to relax than to enjoy a 'Warthog Hour' - mud bath, or vitality body wrap, with only the sounds of elephants at the waterhole or weaverbirds tapping on the window to disturb you. If you are feeling more energetic then there is a full gym, swimming pool and then the aroma filled steam room to cleanse the pores. Aside from relaxation and rejuvenation in the wellness centre, Etali can offer thrilling experiences in the bush.

Sunrise and sunset game drives are led by expert guides. Watch out for leopard, endangered black rhino, elusive wild dog and some of the area's 300 recorded species of bird life. Get closer to nature with ranger-led game walks, learn interesting facts such as why the top of 'Castles of Clay', termite mounds always face northwest, while the temperature inside the mound remains a constant 37 degrees fahrenheit. Creative cuisine fuses the influences of Africa and Asia and telescopes are on hand to make the most of the African night sky.
