Makoppas Nest River Lodge

Morning View
Morning looks a little different when the river is right outside your window.
Slow coffee. Soft light. No reason to rush.
Book your stay at Makoppas Nest and wake up to the bushveld.

Bushveld Sunsets
The best part of the day is often the part you do not plan.
A fire, a sunset, good company, and nowhere else you need to be.
This is how a day should end.

CAMPING
Your weekend does not need an itinerary.
Pitch camp beside the Mogalakwena River.
Make coffee outside.
Light the fire.
Throw a line in the water.
Look up occasionally.
That’s it.
Our river campsites are for people who would rather hear the bushveld waking up than another phone notification.
Pack the tent. Bring the chairs. Take a breath.
Book your camping stay at Makoppas Nest.

HUNTERS CAMP
The hunt may be the reason for the trip.
Where you stay still matters.
Makoppas Nest Hunters Camp offers professional hunters and their clients a private group base away from the main lodge, with space to unpack, regroup, eat together and properly switch off at the end of the day.
Private rooms.
Group facilities.
Bushveld quiet.
And enough room for the stories to get better every time they’re told.

RESTAURANT
There is a very specific kind of hunger that happens after a day in the bushveld.
Fortunately, we understand the assignment.
Burgers, grills, pizzas, platters, cold drinks and the sort of food that belongs around a table full of people who have nowhere else to rush off to.
You don’t have to stay at Makoppas Nest to join us for a meal.
Although once you’re here, staying becomes rather tempting.
Good food. Good w**e. Good company.

STAY BY THE RIVER
Some mornings are better without an alarm.
Coffee on the stoep.
The river catching the first light.
Nowhere you need to be just yet.
Our river view self-catering chalets give families, couples and friends space to settle in, slow down and enjoy a few proper bushveld days together.
Bring the people you actually like. We’ll provide the setting.
Stay awhile at Makoppas Nest.

Good food tastes even better when there’s nowhere else you need to be.

Settle in at the Makoppas Nest restaurant for a relaxed meal, a glass of w**e and the kind of company that turns dinner into part of the stay.

Whether you’re staying at the lodge or simply joining us for a meal, come hungry and stay awhile.

Good food. Good w**e. Good company.
