I had the extreme pleasure to experience a part of South Africa through Mafigeni lodge August 2025 for 2 event filled weeks on a detailed photographic journey. This is far, far better than any group tour as they provide one on one tailor made experiences. Depending on your likes and dislikes they can add or adjust anything for you at a moments notice. They are totally flexible and extremely keen on making the experience "your " experience. Paddy my guide was amazing and took me to some great photography destinations. He took time to find good locations for wildlife and landscape photography and did not follow the masses as you see them in even small group tours. All the while safety and comfort was at the forefront. This became an moment where I truly felt I experienced the life and times of actually "living" in South Africa and not just part of a "tourist" tour. This is a well run Family operation and so you get to meet and be part of the "family" Food was perfectly prepared, simple, tasty and elegant. Accommodations are cozy yet roomy, and very comfortable. What an experience. Don't delay

If you ever want to try an African safari then this is the place to start! You are treated as part of the family from start to finish. Warmly welcomed on arrival by strangers to saying heart wrenching goodbyes to family at the end of the trip. The accomodations are excellent, with a typical african rustic vibe, with a free daily laundry service thrown in! The meals were excellent, good home cooking at its finest! Your safety is their top priority ensuring the best experience of a lifetime whilst taking part in the available tours......Jill and her staff truly made this an experience of a lifetime. Dont miss out!

Mafigeni African Safari Lodge, what a memorable adventure of a lifetime !!! South Africa is truly one of the most exciting and beautiful countries you could ever wish to visit. The abundant wildlife and mesmerising landscapes it has it all plusmore. For anyone who has never stepped foot on the African continent, (like me) it's the perfect choice for a first-time safari. Jill and her team at Mafigeni are amazing people. The food is delicious, traditional and plentiful something for everyone. Accommodations are comfortable and beautiful inside and out. The complementary daily laundry is a real luxury we all felt spoilt :) Herman our personal Guide, was amazing with his easy going yet always professional attitude, he went above and beyond to make our experience more than we could of envisioned. Plans were flexible yet seemingly customized to perfection. I would 1000% go back to Mafigeni and recommend that you do too !!!!

We met Jill at the Toronto Sportsman Show in March of 2023. Going on a safari in South Africa was something that we had never even thought about. After talking with Jill and hearing everything her safari offered, we decided to go for it. We are so glad we did! The lodge at Mafigeni is very rustic and comfortable. All the staff is very friendly and eager to make sure we had everything we needed, from great meals, to doing our laundry daily. Our guide, Paddy, was amazing. We spent 14 days with him and he kept us busy! The wildlife and scenery that we saw was beyond all of our expectations. We would highly recommend this adventure!

We met Jill at the Toronto Sportsman Show in March of 2023. Going on a trip to South Africa had never even crossed our minds. When Jill explained what her safari was like, we decided to go for it, and we are so glad that we did! The lodge at Mafigeni is quite rustic and very comfortable. The staff were all friendly and very willing to make sure we had everything that we needed, from wonderful meals to doing our laundry daily. The best part was our guide, Paddy. We spent 14 days with him, went to 4 countries and saw animals and sights beyond our wildest dreams. We highly recommend this adventure.

The photo safari with Mafigeni was one of the best vacations we’ve ever experienced. All our expectations were exceeded. We felt completely safe and the small family style atmosphere made it that much more enjoyable. All the staff were very friendly and met our every need. Every night we ate a different kind of game meat that Raven made absolutely delicious. Paddy our guide was awesome with his easy going attitude, knowledge and eagle eyes made our photo trip very memorable. Bottom line: We arrived and met strangers, we left as friends.
