A harmonious fusion of nature and wellness, the “Tlhakanya” experience embodies the Tswana culture of coming together and mixing. This two-hour treatment merges the finest elements of a holistic spa journey, designed to soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate.
The experience begins with a visit to our essential oil-infused steam room, where the aromatic vapours open your pores and prepare your skin for the luxurious full-body scrub. This gentle exfoliation leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated.
Next, enjoy a personalised body wrap of your choice, specially designed to nourish your skin, followed by a hydrating facial to refresh and revitalise your complexion.
To conclude the treatment, a combination of Swedish and warm stone massage techniques will leave you feeling balanced and fully revitalised, from head to toe. Afterward, unwind in nature, sipping on chilled lemon or cucumber-infused water, while the soothing sounds of birds chirping surround you.

Enhance your visit with rejuvenating steam therapy in our steam room.
The steam room provides a serene sanctuary after a day of exploring the African bush, where guests can unwind and rejuvenate.
Guests are welcome to book the steam room 10 minutes in advance to allow the steamer time to heat up.
Etali also offers an open-air mini gym where exercise and nature come together.
Enjoy time on the treadmill; lifting weights with our dumbbells or weight machines; or use our mats for stretching or yoga practice or meditation.
Our mini-gym is covered with a thatch roof, but is open on the sides.
Imagine working out whilst enjoying a fresh breeze and listening to the birds sing.
When Etali’s founder Koos Potgieter created the lodge from scratch in 2000, his original design included a spa.
This was unheard of at the time, and he remembers many of the other lodges in Madikwe that were being built around the same time, coming to the Etali site to see the spa being constructed.
Koos’ vision from the beginning was that the bush has the unique ability to put your mind at ease, and so the experience at Etali should also offer guests the ability to rest and rejuvenate their body.
Koos lives at Etali and still enjoys going to the spa for massages!

We recommend that guests book their spa treatments in advance, through our reservations team (reservations@etalisafari.co.za), to ensure availability. Guests are also able to book treatments at the lodge upon arrival.
Etali offers flexible scheduling, so you can have a treatment at any time during the day. Most guests enjoy spa treatments between the morning and afternoon game drives; however, your schedule is up to you.
Some guests will skip a game drive an opt for a full morning or full afternoon of spa bliss.
