Organic glamour and opulent accents combine to ensure a distinctive and elegant flair. Tradition and eccentricity are tastefully united in an atmosphere that knows no equal. Jamala Madikwe reflects a classic sense of style that is sufficiently robust to match the savage beauty that lies beyond. JAMALA is the Swahili word for "natural elegance". Elegant (adj.) - is defined as "graceful and stylish, pleasantly ingenious and simple". SAFARI is another Swahili word that means "journey" or "to travel", but has come to mean so very much more. Imbued with a sense of the exotic, more typically a sense of Africa, the word safari has today become symbolic of something far more romantic, it evokes images of adventure and stylish indulgence only in Jamala Madikwe Royal Safari Lodge.
