The luxurious Sanctuary Makayane Safari Lodge is situated on 18,000 hectares of private ground within the malaria-free Madikwe Reserve. Romantic and intimate, the lodge is positioned in a riverine forest and enjoys lush vistas into the surrounding bushveld. 8 impressive glass-walled suites ensure the scenery is uninterrupted and any wildlife that happens to be passing can be easily seen. The rooms have been constructed using the rich textures of rock, tree trunks and thatch and open-fronted lounges extend onto private decks. Admire the tranquillity of the bush from outdoor showers or while soaking in free-standing baths. Guests can relax in the heated swimming pool, or visit the spa, gym and excellent wine cellar.

Activities include game drives, walks and hide visits. One of the main highlights is sleeping under the stars in the romantic outdoors hide.
