The most beautiful and favorite accommodation on our trip, quiet and surrounded by nature, with a large pool and beautiful rooms and no internet. There is a fence around the entire property, which ensures your safety, so that you are in the accommodation without worries and you do not need to look after things. The owners are friendly and willing to help, and the food here is outstanding! You will never forget desserts! Follow their directions to the accommodation, as google map will not direct you right! They can organize tours in Kruger Park and bushwalks.

What a fantastic place to stay...Close to Kruger but also within their own game reserve which also has lots of animals...Zebra and giraffe walking around...A bush walk is highly recommended...Lynn and Brian cannot do enough for you. All our trips were organised for us and they were friendly, helpful and great fun....Easy to get to from Hoedsprit airport and a very comfortable, interesting place to stay. Loved the big comfy beds and outside shower. Also the food was excellent thanks to Tinyiko the chef. Very varied and delicious. Highly recommended place to stay.

Set in a stunning location just outside the Greater Kruger Park, there are two viewing decks from which to watch game (we saw elephants, kudu, impala and warthog during our stay). Tommy, Andrea, Jan and their team were lovely and super welcoming. The pool area and surrounds are beautiful and were just what we were looking for, somewhere to relax with a book after a long safari in the Kruger. Lovely bar and a la carte restaurant.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Breakfast was wonderful, tasty and carefully prepared by Simone. She is a great chef and puts effort into the preparation and presentation of the meals. The lodge is conveniently located between Blyde River and the Orpen gate. The management couple, Morne and Simone, is very friendly and top class hosts. Simone packed an amazing breakfast on our departure morning (5am).

    This stay was incredible, Simone and Morne made my trip to Kruger so easy and enjoyable, from the packed lunches to the homemade dinners and chats I couldn’t recommend this lodge more. They really make it special, I booked this last minute not really knowing what to expect but I’m so so glad I did! Went as a solo traveller and it was perfect!

    On the way to Makuwa safari lodge welcomed by a leopard couple we found a true chef in Simone and two decades of safari knowledge in Morne in an amazing place. Lions roaring at the campfire in the evening, delicious dinner and breakfast plus the service of Prince as a personal guide in Kruger.

    The hosts Simone & Morne are amazing. They are welcoming and very caring. They gave us great recommendations, organized different safaris and were always there to help. The food at the lodge was prepared with love and it was delicious, from breakfast to dinner! We can also recommend the bush walk they are offering - Morne has great knowledge of the area, animals, and plants. It was lots of fun to explore the bush with him! Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

    What a great place run by lovely people. Simone and Morne are amazing hosts who made us very welcome. The lodge location is beautiful with impal greeting us as we arrived. The food and service were fantastic. Morne gave us great advice for our self drive safari in the Kruger and Simone made a fantastic dinner. We really enjoyed sitting round the fire taking to them.
