Camp Details

There is magic in the air when you enter your home from home in the bush, Makanyi Lodge. It is not only the astonishing setting or the wondrous wildlife, it is also the unwavering passion and dedication that everyone involved in all aspects of the lodge share with those who join us. Makanyi is an exceptional way of life that has held the same family and core team enthralled and empowered for the past 7 years, since launch.

Located on the western edge of the Kruger National Park, an area that spans over 2.4 million hectares, the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is incomparable in being easily accessible from main air and road access routes and yet still wild and unspoilt with fewer lodges and private homes than can be counted on one hand. This unique situation allows our guests the ultimate luxury of exploring this arresting habitat uninhibited by other tourist vehicles and in their own time – a rare and authentic safari experience.

WHY CHOOSE MAKANYI PRIVATE GAME LODGE?

  • The Main Lodge is a perfect haven where you will find a superbly situated deck with stunning views of the dam, allowing you to unwind and watch amazing wildlife scenes unfold before your eyes.
  • There are many activities at Makanyi to indulge in and keep you busy and entertained throughout your stay.
  • You’ll see the beautiful constellations of the Southern Hemisphere and have an unspoilt view of the Milky Way, often with the odd satellite passing by.
  • This is your opportunity to meet and photograph the incredible animals in the heart of their natural habitat.
