Makanyi Private Game Lodge

Experience & Activities          

Makanyi Private Game Lodge allows guests the luxury of exploring the Timbavati Game Reserve in total privacy.

The Main Lodge is a perfect haven where you will find a superbly situated deck with stunning views of the dam, allowing you to unwind and watch amazing wildlife scenes unfold before your eyes. It is a lovely area to either relax on your own and take in the beauty of your surroundings or to socialise with others and share stories about your sightings. 

In addition to exciting game drives, there are plenty of other activities to indulge in, from guided bush walks with your ranger to fishing in one of the many dams in the company of hippos to star gazing at night. 

There is a well-equipped gym, a pool to cool down during the hottest hours of the day, and a hot tub to soak in the cooler evening temperatures. You can also enjoy a spa treatment in the privacy of your room or the peaceful massage area. 

The lodge can also organise activities for you at an array of world-renowned attractions.

Children from 14 only unless you have exclusive use of the lodge.
