Everything! This place is a complete sanctuary, for animals and humans alike. From the warm welcome to the final goodbye, we enjoyed every minute. The whole place is beautifully decorated, the rooms comfy, and our private terrace overlooking the river was so peaceful. And the game drives, just wow! Adolph (guide) and Mosco (tracker) worked tirelessly to find us the Big Five, finding a beautiful female leopard and elephants for us on our last morning. I loved how they had to really work to find the animals in the thick bush, so that when we found them it felt like a real reward! And as for the food, you couldn’t go hungry if you tried! Every meal is delicious and there is SO much of it! Don’t search any further, just book. You wont regret it.

Everything was exceptional - each member of the family was cared for whether relaxing, on safari, dining - across ages 8 to 80. The park also allows access to so much wildlife, with deeply capable trackers and guides.

It's a self service. The location is perfect if one wants to be closer to nature and far from the city. I enjoyed it.

Very personal and family run bush camp. Jenni and Kristian are great hosts. We enjoyed the time over new year at this wonderful location. The tents are spacious and very clean. There is a large pool with sunbeds available and also a nice place to sit around the fire. The very good Breakfast and delicious Dinner is served together with the owners which is perfect for interesting conversations and sharing experiences. The Game Drives with Kristian were informative and varied with nice animal sightings. Simply a beautiful bush camp - highly recommended.

The staff were all so great and friendly! Especially Johan and his wife and our guide Frankie and Gabriel, they made our stay such a comfortable and enjoyable one. Saw all of the big 5 and many other animals like cheetahs foxes, bush babies, giraffes too. Very highly recommend this place as it doesn't have too many guests at once so you feel you have your space too.

we absolutely loved our stay at Makalali. The room (private lodge) was very spacious, comfortable, and fancy yet in tune with nature. It was beyond my expectation. The game drives were a lot of fun, and Andrew was very kind and knowledgeable. The staff was very nice and they surprised us on the last night with a special honeymoon set up. I also loved the general facilities: pool, grounds,e tc

When we arrived Staff was friendly and helpful, they did so much effort to make sure our anniversary was something to remember. Dinner by the pool and beautiful turndown in the room with drinks. Food was good and game drives was great. We will be back for sure. Sharon really made an effort with Game drives, Isaak was great at Dinner.
