Makanyane
Safari Lodge is a luxurious lodge situated on 1800 hectares of private
ground, hidden in the magnificent 75 000 hectare malaria-free Madikwe Game
Reserve.
Madikwe
is home to lion, leopard, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo, wild
dog, cheetah and hyena as well as a host of plains game species and over
340 bird species. Makanyane Safari Lodge’s eight luxurious suites are nestled
in lush forest on the bank of the Marico River.
|
| Spectacular
glass-walled bedrooms give guests uninterrupted views of the surrounding
forest and over the river. Guests are given the opportunity to experience
the drama, mystery and beauty of Africa’s wildlife, ancient legends and
cultural heritage on game drives and bush walks taken by experienced, professional
field guides. A stroll along the shady path winding through the riverine
forest will bring you to your romantic and secluded suite.

As
in the main lodge, rich African textures abound, walls of natural rock
and dried tree trunks merge with rough teak doors and contrast with the
overhanging thatch. The glass walled bedroom suites allow uninterrupted
views of the river and the surrounding bush. The open-fronted lounge with
its private sundeck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights
and sounds of the bush.
|
| The
call of the fish eagle echoes down the river as elephants, escaping the
heat of the day, plunge into the deep water and disturb the sleeping hippo.
The spectacular bathrooms have under-floor heating as well as indoor and
outdoor showers. The wide, folding doors can be opened to allow the sounds
and scents of the surrounding bush to join you in the luxurious freestanding
bathtub. The understated luxury of your suite flawlessly compliments your
untamed surroundings. The suites have fireplaces, overhead fans and are
fully air-conditioned and heated. The rooms also have a telephone, hot
beverage making facilities, mini safe and a bar fridge. Bathrobes, hairdryers,
insect repellent, body and sun lotion, soap as well as shampoo and conditioner
are all provided.

prides itself on its exquisite cuisine, outstanding accommodation and friendly
personal service. Our food is skilfully and imaginatively prepared by our
executive chef to create delicious and memorable dining experiences.
Our
delicious cuisine is complimented by superb South African wines from our
extensive cellar. As well as offering classic wines such as Kanonkop's
Paul Sauer and Klein Constantia’s Vin de Constance, we have gone to great
lengths to search out excellent quality, value and range in the wine list
that we offer our guests. This ensures that for wine lovers Makanyane is
a real treat. The well-equipped gym and bush spa is just the place to work
up an appetite, or to simply pamper yourself.

| Tucked
away in the forest, this air-conditioned facility has all that you need
for a gentle workout or more strenuous exercise. Alternatively, treat yourself
to massage or aromatherapy from Makanyane's on-site masseuse.
Activities
at Makanyane revolve around relaxing your body and mind and experiencing
the rich details of your surroundings. Relax by lounging at our heated
swimming pool, strip away the stress of city living with a massage or aromatherapy
on your private deck or in our bush spa, unwind by exercising in our gym,
or simply catch up on your quiet time by selecting a book from our library
and settling down in our den or on one of the outside decks to read. |

To
experience the vibrant bush life around you, allow yourself to be led through
Madikwe's 75,000 hectare environment, either on foot or in an open vehicle.
Watch
the wildlife, oblivious to your presence, from one of our bush hides overlooking
a waterhole or facing plains that stretch to the horizon.

could even sleep out under the stars while nocturnal life continues around
your secure, elevated deck.
