We arrived at the Nare Suite to see three giraffes at the watering hole, followed that night by elephants trumpeting, bathing and drinking through the night – and then got to watch a family of baboons play as we each got massages! And a warthog bathing as we packed to leave!

Daily scheduled flights
There are daily scheduled flights from Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg direct to Jaci's Lodges. Private charters can also be arranged on request. Landing strip fees of R100 per adult and R20 per pensioner/child (2-12 years) are payable for use of the strip.
For further details on departure times click here (PDF).
Road transfers or self-drive
Jaci's is an easy three-and-a-half to four-hour drive from OR Tambo International Airport. Allow us to arrange a private road transfer for you or you could simply take the self drive option.
If you will be arriving by car, the quickest (and recommended) route from Johannesburg is to drive via Sun City, and then on to the Molatedi Gate in the south-western corner of the Madikwe Game Reserve. Please contact the lodge directly when passing Sun City for more specific directions should you require them, and to alert us so that we can prepare for your arrival.
Please refuel at Sun Village/Zeerust as there is no fuel available inside the reserve.
Please remember that although the gates into the Madikwe Game Reserve close at 21h00, guests are not permitted to drive unaccompanied in the reserve after 18h00. Should you expect to arrive after 18h00, please make prior arrangements for a lodge escort, at a cost of R500 per escorted trip.
