Makanyane Safari Lodge

Renowned for excellent cuisine -brunch, buffet lunches, afternoon teas and a la carte three course dinners are all served in camp. Fine wines from the award-winning wine list complement the exceptional cuisine.

Madikwe is one of the best places in Southern Africa to watch the elusive and rare wild dog, a fascinating species on the brink of extinction. Your safari takes place on Makanyane's private 1,800 hectares and the 75,000 hectares of the magnificent Madikwe Game Reserve. Your guide will share a wealth of knowledge with you, from the fascinating private life of the dung beetle to the intricacies of the wild dog's social system. There are two daily game drives at Makanyane, timed to make the most of the periods when the game is the most active, one in the early morning and another in the late afternoon. The afternoon drive, after a brief stop to enjoy sundowners, continues into the night, revealing the nocturnal wildlife of the bush.

For an even more in-depth exploration of the bush, a game walk is essential. Your armed and experienced guide will lead you along game paths in the footsteps of the animals, allowing you to feel the thrill of walking through this wild environment. Guests under the age of 16 years are not permitted on walks. Guests over the age of 60 are required to produce a medical certificate stating that they are fit for such an activity.

Guests can enjoy treatments on the deck of their suite, or in a variety of locations, such as our look-out point, where the views can be enjoyed during the treatment. There is a comprehensive list of Health and Beauty treatments, from massage, aromatherapy and hot stone treatments right through to facials and manicures.
