Makanyi Private Game Lodge offers a truly unique and intimate experience, set in a secluded part of the Timbavati where there are no other lodges—just a handful of private homes—and allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the bush, creating the feeling of having the entire wilderness all to yourself.
No children under 14 years of age are permitted in any suite unless the lodge is booked on an exclusive basis.
The lodge offers five spacious Luxury Suites with an open-plan design, boasting stunning views of the bush and waterhole. Each suite features custom-made furnishings, indoor and outdoor showers, freestanding bathtubs, and a cozy gas fireplace.
For enhanced privacy, the lodge also offers two Luxury Pool Suites, complete with private plunge pools and breathtaking bush views. Families and small groups can opt for the expansive Marula Suite, which includes two en-suite bedrooms, a dining room, and a spacious living room with cable TV.
With all meals served at the main lodge, guests can indulge in home comforts while fully immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

My 2nd time booking with Safari.com
My 2nd time booking with Safari.com - Amazing is all I can say from the first trip last year to booking this one for next year - they tailor the trip to what you want to do and see and keep in touch the whole way thru. I would never book with anyone else ever! Kim Abrahams was a godsend - so patience with all my changes and requests. She made sure I was getting the right place to stay to have the best chance to see the animals I want to see.
