Makanyane Safari Lodge

akanyane Safari Lodge, opened in December 2003, is situated on private land within the magnificent 75,000 hectare malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve - home to the Big 5 and a myriad of other animal and bird species.

Makanyane, which lies hidden in lush riverside forest, offers unforgettable wildlife experiences, exquisite accommodation and cuisine as well as outstanding personal service.
A visit to Makanyane Safari Lodge enables you to experience the drama and mystery of Africa's finest natural history, exhilarating wildlife, ancient legends and rich cultural history and to relax and revitalise the body and mind.
A stroll along the shady path winding through the riverine forest will bring you to your romantic and secluded suite. As in the main lodge, rich African textures abound, walls of natural rock and dried tree trunks merge with rough teak doors and contrast with the overhanging thatch. The glass walled bedroom suites allow uninterrupted views of the river and the surrounding bush. The open-fronted lounge with its private sundeck is the perfect place to relax. The call of the fish eagle echoes down the river as elephants, escaping the heat of the day, plunge into the deep water and disturb the sleeping hippo.
Allow yourself to be led on foot through Makanyane's own private 75,000 hectare safari environment, and after an adventurous day you can even sleep out under the stars while nocturnal life continues around your secure, elevated deck.
