Deep in the heart of South Africa's second largest Game Reserve lies Makanyane Safari Lodge, a sleek modern lodge designed by award-winning architects to blend seamlessly into the surrounding bush. Malaria-free, the Madikwe Reserve is home to the Big Five as well as a myriad of other bird and animal species and the lodge itself lies in nearly 5000 acres of private land, ensuring total exclusivity for the guests of this luxurious hidden retreat.
Dramatic architecture includes open-air viewing decks and an infinity pool suspended over a ravine and waterhole, whilst striking glass walled suites with spectacular bathrooms open onto decks with glorious views. A five-star chef holds the fort on the culinary front, conjuring up exquisite meals in the dining room, on the deck, under the stars in the boma or even out in the bush.
For those in need of relaxation after the excitement of the day, a bush spa offers an array of pampering treatments whilst the lodge library holds an excellent selection of books and a gym beckons for those intent on burning the calories.
Game viewing is on foot or in open 4x4's day or night. Alternatively there are strategically placed bush hides that allow guests riveting close encounters with oblivious game that includes the rare African wild dog after which the lodge is named. Guests can also sleep out on a secure elevated deck under a canopy of stars surrounded by the sounds of the African night.
