Designed by a team of top-notch architects, Makanyane’s main visitor hub, and suites merge effortlessly with the adjacent wilderness and boast understated yet stylish interiors.
From its lofty setting, the main visitor hub provides stunning views of the ravine and waterhole below. The gigantic ancient Leadwood trees supporting the thatched roof work to further enhance the dramatic atmosphere. The generous sitting area has two rock fireplaces and leads onto an expansive wooden deck with a well-stocked bar as does the refined dining room.

On the second level, you’ll find an air-conditioned den which also offers a look-out platform from where you can enjoy uninterrupted views across the rolling savannah out towards the skyline in the distance.More...+
For visitors who can’t go without their mod cons, the den has 24-hour internet and fax access, satellite TV, and a video library. It also serves as a mini-conference centre for up to 16 delegates. In addition, there is an enviable wine cellar and a curio shop where you can hunt for mementos of your bushveld breakaway.
Not far from the main visitor hub lies the open-air Boma lies and a standalone viewing platform; the ideal spot to indulge in a quiet cocktail as you observe Madikwe’s resident bird- and wildlife going their business.
The eight deluxe suites are set along the myriad paths that wind through the forest that lines the banks of the Groot Marico River and constructed from local stone, wood, and thatch to minimise their impact on the pristine natural environment.
Each tastefully-appointed glass-fronted suite features a lounge, double bedroom, full bathroom with a free-standing bath, indoor and outdoor showers, and a spacious sundeck where you can drink in Madikwe’s magical beauty in complete privacy.
Additional facilities include fireplaces, overhead fans, air-conditioning, a telephone, a coffee/tea station, safe, and bar fridge as well as bathrobes, hairdryers, insect repellent, and a range of upmarket toiletries.
As for those visitors with a sense of romantic adventure, you can book a sleepover on Makanyane’s star deck. The double storey hide with sleeping platform lies hidden some distance from the main hub and gives you the opportunity to experience a memorable night out under a sky full of stars with only the nocturnal creatures for company. What better way to spend your honeymoon or celebrate a special anniversary.
Daytime activities include thrilling game drives and guided nature trails accompanied by knowledgeable field rangers. Subject to availability, an exclusive game viewing trip can be organised on request. But you don’t need to go far to encounter Madikwe’s amazing diversity of bird and animal species including the Big 5. Makanyane has several hides from where you can take in the daily animal action and appreciate vistas of the endless sweeping plains and tranquil river frontage.
Alternatively, take a refreshing dip in infinity pool which is located high above the stream-fed waterhole. For visitors wishing to work up an appetite, there is fully- equipped, air-conditioned gym. And if something a little more soothing is what you desire, Makanyane provides a selection of indulgent spa therapies including massages, aromatherapy, reflexology, and facials. Plus, you can choose from a variety of settings for your therapy, like the isolated spa, the comfort of your suite, or on the look-out deck.
When it comes to mealtimes, Makanyane Safari Lodge gourmet fare – prepared using only the finest and freshest local and imported ingredients – promises to make your stay even more unforgettable.
Breakfasts are typically a group affair giving visitors the chance to swap anecdotes of your morning’s safari adventures. The buffet lunches, afternoon teas, and à la carte dinners are usually in the company of the friends and family with whom you’re staying and served in the dining space or on the main viewing deck.
Intimate outdoor dinners and mouthwatering sunset feasts served in the fire-lit traditional Boma are also on the menu. Unless, perhaps you prefer a romantic poolside supper or a down-to- earth bush barbeque. The delectable cuisine is perfectly complemented by the Lodge’s award-winning wine list.
If it’s a heavenly wedding venue you seek, Makanyane Safari Lodge has what it takes to ensure your big day exceeds your wildest expectations. Picture yourself celebrating your nuptials beneath a magnificent old Tamboti tree, on the banks of the Groot Marico River or alongside with the waterhole with Madikwe’s resident game looking on.
Makanyane’s opulent accommodations, exceptional game viewing, and first-rate service combine to ensure this Lodge will rank as one of your top African safari destinations.
