Exceptional Stay

Our week at Makanyi Private Game Lodge was truly extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like pampered guests. The feeling at this lodge is like visiting a dear friend who happens to own a private game reserve, has invited you to join, and has instructed the staff to cater to your every need. The game drives were wonderful - the guide was truly knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing his wealth of knowledge with us. Because this is a private reserve, there is a feeling of being alone out there with the animals. We saw the "Big 5" as well as a range of other animals and birds, and they were quite close to our Land Rover (which was extremely comfortable, by the way). The food is delicious, and continuous, from the pre-game drive 5:30 snack, through a hearty made-to-order breakfast, to lunch and afternoon tea, and superb dinners prepared by a talented chef. The open bar was available at all hours. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, with very well-appointed individual villas. We also had massages at the spa, possibly the best massage I have ever experienced. This was a highly memorable week, and could not have been any better.”

Incredible experience, wonderful lodge and 5 star treatment

The Makanyi Lodge is a very special place. It's a private game lodge in the Greater Kruger Park. The owner and the team at the lodge treated us to an incredible Thirdhome experience. The wildlife is abundant and exciting to go view. The lodge is impeccable. The food is michelin star quality. If you are lucky enough to visit Makanyi you will not be disappointed.”
