We spent 3 nights here and it was fantastic. Stayed in Lodge 4 which had a great view and was very comfortable, showering under the stars was a new experience! The 'team' consisting of James, Casper and Marie-Loiuse couldn't have been more helpful with great suggestions of what to do and where to go! Not forgetting the cooks of course... More

Makhasa is perfect for anything - viewing animals, having an adventure, spending quiet time or falling in love all over again. The lodge staff are incredibly warm, courteous, welcoming and accommodating. All of the activities are spectacular - no stone or detail left behind. The rooms are comfortable, cute and clean. The bungalows are spaced for privacy and each contain... More

Makhasa was my first game preserve and the experience has set the bar very high for my future explorations! The reserve is a magical place of positive energy. The entire staff provided a welcoming atmosphere. The rangers provided unlimited information to my inquisitive son, very knowledgeable on the plants as well as the animals. The bush dinner provided the icing... More

Recently spent 3 amazing days at the Makhasa lodge with a group of friends. We were made to feel very welcome from the word go and left wanting to stay.

Me and another graduate student from the U.S. stayed here for 2 nights in February 2012, and we loved it. First off follow the driving directions they give you and not google's. We went with google directions and it had been raining which flooded the unpaved road we were on and our rental got stuck in the mud. James, one... More
