Makalali River Lodge offers guests a wonderful Makalali Private Game Reserve safari experience in the lowveld. With morning and afternoon game drives, as well as bird watching, fine dining and conferencing on offer, this accommodation near Kruger National Park is the ideal holiday retreat for couples and families.
Morning and Afternoon Game Drives
Guests can start the day with a morning game drive into the heart of the South African bushveld. You can look forward to spotting the Big 5 (buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, rhino), as well as the cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra and kudu. After a coffee break in the bush, guests can return to Makalali River Lodge for a relaxed breakfast.
The afternoon game drive is a must for guests wanting to see more game, as well as the flora of the northern lowveld. Avid bird watchers can bring their binoculars along to spot numerous birds, and photography enthusiasts should remember their cameras to make the most of their safari experience.
