| THE BUSH HOUSE | ||
 The Bush House is an old homestead in the western part of Madikwe which is more like a home than a hotel. This charming game lodge has a lot of history and many stories to tell. It accommodates 10 people in double rooms simply decorated but equipped with air-conditioning, mosquito nets and percale linen. The veranda and garden over look one of the best waterholes in the reserve and often the sightings are as exciting as they are on a game drive. The service is friendly and warm, the experience fantastic and the food is absolutely �to die for�.The lady responsible for the mouthwatering cuisine on offer at the Bush House is Deidre Rosenhahn (more commonly known as Dee), a 25-year-old chef whose passion, enthusiasm and smile are positively contagious. Every meal served up by Dee and her kitchen team is a delight, and every bite leaves you eager for the next.
