The
Makanyane Safari Lodge presents an unprecedented opportunity to
experience the drama, beauty and mystery of
Africa’s
exhilarating wildlife, immense natural history, ancient legends and
cultural heritage.

Makanyane Safari Lodge - Game
The Madikwe Game Reserve
offers Makanyane guests a real opportunity to see packs of the
endangered African Wild Dog (in the Tswana language Makanyane) who have
successfully been re-established in the game reserve. Visitors will also
enjoy stunning views of the roaming Magnificent 7 – lions, leopards,
elephants, rhinos, buffalo, wild dogs, cheetahs – as well as over 340
bird species and compelling sceneries, which include the South African
plains.

Makanyane Safari Lodge - Accommodation
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 and enjoy the sights and sounds of
the bush. 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.
The spectacular bathrooms have under-floor heating as well as indoor and
outdoor showers. The wide, folding doors can be opened to allow the
sounds and scents of the surrounding bush to join you in the luxurious
freestanding bathtub. The understated luxury of your suite flawlessly
compliments your untamed surroundings.
The suites have fireplaces, overhead fans and are fully air-conditioned
and heated. The rooms also have a telephone, hot beverage making
facilities, mini safe and a bar fridge. Bathrobes, hairdryers, insect
repellent, body and sun lotion, soap as well as shampoo and conditioner
are all provided.

With eight suites nestled
in lush river forests, the Makanyane Safari Lodge offers its guests
brilliant views of the tranquil
Marico River and deluxe facilities, including exquisite cuisine from top class
international chefs and a marvellous wine cellar.
