Why sign up for the newsletter? 

If you weren’t thinking of signing up for another newsletter, we are here to tell you to reconsider. Even if you’d rather sign up to receive fewer emails, or at least fewer passive-aggressive “reminders” from colleagues who know very well you would’ve done it already, if you weren’t trying to get through your inbox. We think you should be getting ours. Why? Because we can add a little joy to your inbox, to balance out the less-fun stuff.

How do we know we can do this? Our readers tell us. Our newsletter beats all the benchmarks: open rates, click-throughs – we’re nailing them all. We like to think it’s because our subscribers like us so much as people, but if we’re honest, it’s probably all the life-alteringly delicious recipes, helpful meal plans, hunger-inducing photographs and incredible competitions (like the one on the right) that we feature every single week. So go on, sign up – we promise not to spam you!

In the spirit of oasis and sanctuary, Last Word Madikwe is a completely unique safari experience. Twice-daily game drives to track the Big 5 are a guest favourite, but the true difference is to be found right at the lodge itself. The house pours onto green and tranquil gardens that flow to the ancient waterhole just metres from the lawn’s end. It’s a place most of the animals visit daily and visitors can see herds of elephant as well as lion, leopard, buffalo, wild dog, white and black rhino, and many more while relaxing in a garden seat enjoying a drink or snack.

The original underground hide steals right up to the waterhole where aspiring photographers can catch the shot of a lifetime. Birdlife is abundant and although you’ll see many species while on a game drive, many love to visit the inviting garden area and will often join you for breakfast. And happily, it’s malaria-free.
