From its curious mix of rugged thatched spires and earthy walls, to its ancient mystical ornaments and luxury appointments, Makalali Private Game Lodge in Hoedspruit, Limpopo, offers a truly unique experience.

Amenities on offer at each camp include a uniquely designed swimming pool, boma, air-conditioning, and an enclosed dining and lounge area. Considered one of the leading pioneers in Ecotourism in South Africa, Makalali Private Game Reserve represents a conservation mission to expand South Africa's green frontier by re-establishing the ancient wildlife migration routes that linked the famous Kruger Park in the east to the lush Drakensberg Mountains in the west. In the process lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, and rhino have all been reintroduced to the wild, making Makalali home to over one thousand wild animals including four of Africa's "Big Five".Makalali has four separate camps situated on the banks of the Makhutswi River on 22 000 hectares of Lowveld Acacia and open savannah grassland. Each camp has six luxury suites with en-suite bathroom, outdoor shower, fireplace and raised timber ‘sala’ (private viewing deck/lounge). All the rooms are individually decorated in African design styles with sculptured metalwork lamp shades and taps, and ceramic basins. Mosquito nets surround the king-size beds by night, and insect repellent, hairdryers and bathrobes are provided. Makalali is quickly becoming recognised for its specific brand of African Cuisine, put together by a dedicated team of "Makalali Makers, Bakers and Shakers". Cuisine at the lodge consists of bush breakfasts, leisurely lunches in the hand-crafted outdoor "salas", and the legendary boma and bush dinners, where guests can enjoy a variety of exciting dishes, from Moroccan Lamb with Lemon and Coriander to Grilled Kingklip in Chermoula.
