ABOUT THE BUSH HOUSE
The owner managed luxury Bush House is located on the South-western side of the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. This informal lodge encourages guests to kick of their shoes, relax and simply unwind. It is a home away from home and a personal, friendly atmosphere is guaranteed.
Besides a cozy lounge and pub, reading area and TV lounge with DSTV, there is a rock swimming pool and lovely garden. The very active waterhole in front of the lodge is floodlit at night for 24/7 viewing.
CHILDREN
Children of all ages are welcome at the Bush House and special game drives are provided for the children that are too young to go out on adult drives. Baby-sitting can be arranged on request.
WILDLIFE AND NATURE RELATED ACTIVITIES
It is perfectly safe to walk freely around the immediate area of The Bush House camp area as it is fully fenced with an electric fence, also making it ideal for children to play on the lawn.
Activities at The Bush House include:
- Early morning and late afternoon / early evening safari game viewing drives in an open vehicle.
- On request, bush walks under supervision of experienced Field Guides / Rangers are conducted.
Underground Game Viewing Hide
The underground game viewing hide is the only one of its kind in Madikwe. It overlooks the waterhole in front of the lodge and can comfortably seat 4 people with additional standing room for 4 - 6 people. Guests are able to sit at eye level to the waterhole and it is wheelchair friendly.
The hide is the brainchild of Gordon and Sue Morrison, the owners of The Bush House. With strict specifications from the construction engineer it took 3 months to complete and has proven to be a massive success with guests staying at The Bush House.
The Bush House has one of the most productive waterholes in Madikwe and a host of animals have been viewed to date on a few occasions. Lions, leopards, wild dogs, rhino, herds of elephant and buffalo, zebra, brown hyena, warthogs and spotted hyena to name a few. The waterhole is illuminated at night and 24 hour game viewing can be enjoyed.
