Welcome to the Home of Endless Views (Makumu means ‘endless view’ in the Xitsonga language). Makumu Private Game Lodge, located in the vast 60 000 hectare ‘Big Five’ Klaserie Private Nature Reserve that opens into the greater Kruger National Park, is an intimate oasis surrounded by the unspoiled wilderness of the African bushveld. Six luxurious and beautifully appointed suites in 3 villas, accommodating a maximum of twelve guests, ensure an exclusive blend of absolute comfort, style and privacy. World-class game viewing, a crackling boma fire, moonlit evenings and legendary bush hospitality are all part of the experience. Explore the mysterious wildlands of the Klaserie on foot or in an open game drive vehicle. An exciting addition is iThumbela, the Photographic Bunker, where guests have the opportunity to take stunning photographs of the wildlife at eye level as they drink water or clean at the pan. With minimal electricity (all rooms have aircons as well as ceiling fans and plug points), come nightfall the lodge is lit entirely by candlelight. Situated under the vast African skies, bathed in the gentle light of candles and lanterns, guests can listen to the far-off roar of the lion and the gentle rasping of the leopard while tucking into a delectable meal.
