We had an unbelievable experience at Makalali! From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional and incredibly friendly. The rooms were fantastic, and the service was outstanding. A special mention goes to Lucas and Oshele, our tracker and ranger, who made every game drive unforgettable. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. Thank you to the entire Makalali team for making our holiday truly memorable. We can’t wait to return!

👌all the staff are super friendly and helpful. The game ranger goes that extra mile, so you see the wildlife. The food is good 👍 My husband took me to pre celebrate my birthday, and they even made a birthday cake and sang for me , so awesome , it was an awesome weekend

I spent 13 days exploring southern Africa, and Makalali was the most memorable part of the trip. Yes, the rooms can use a little assistance (specifcially, the sheets had some stains on them and in the River Lodge [where we stayed for one night only], our shower flooded). But, THE SERVICE WAS AMAZING! Nora and Dorothy were the most kind and attentive hosts during our meals. When it comes to the game drives, I will never forget Andrew and Rodney. They made our experience extra special! I would stay at Makalali (Main Lodge) again!

Road to reception is horrific. Rooms need attention, curtains are not hooked in, headboard fell off and basin not cleaned on arrival. Very few animals. Busy with renovations whilst we were there, so drilling and chopping of hammers the WHOLE time. No quiet Bush holiday Service, staff and food outstanding 👌. Layout and furnishings simplistic and beautiful. Definitely NOT 5 star worth.

Had an amazing experience at aha Makalali. Spent four nights at the river lodge. Service was fantastic! The lodge arranged airport transfer for us from Hoedspruit Airport. Driver was on time and gave us history on the area and animals on the 1.5 hour drive from the airport to the reserve. Game drives are held every morning and every evening and included with the stay. We saw all the species that we hoped to and were able to get up close to many amazing animals. Game drivers and trackers were friendly and super knowledgable, providing interesting information on the animals and the history of the reserve. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Dining was wonderful. Bring a sweatshirt or light jacket on the game drives, even if you are from a colder climate! It gets cold in the open-air safari vehicles. Cannot thank the staff enough for the hospitality and providing us with an absolutely wonderful experience!
