Makanyi Private Game Lodge

The main lodge has large, comfortable sofas and is the perfect spot to unwind in. It has a superbly situated deck with great views of the dam, where you can watch amazing wildlife scenes take place, enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, or socialise. There is a swimming pool with sun loungers, and a cosy loft which serves as a quiet reading area or TV lounge. The lodge also has a spa, gym and a curio shop.

There are seven luxury suites overlooking the magnificent dam. Each has an extra large bed, Nespresso coffee machine, a relaxing lounge area with fireplace, beautiful bathroom with spacious shower and separate bathtub, and a private deck with plenty of loungers. There are two special honeymoon suites too, which are located furthest from the main lodge and offer the most privacy - both come complete with a romantic four-poster and a private plunge pool on the deck.

There are thrilling game drives with experienced rangers, bush walks, and fishing in the dam in the company of curious hippos to look forward to at Makanyi. Added extras include star-gazing at the clear skies, spending a day with a professional wildlife photographer, and, for the creative, art safaris with a local artist. And there's more: Helicopter rides, whispering with elephants, and zip lining... There won't be a second to be bored!
