Makalali Private Game Reserve is located west of the Kruger Park. This ethnic bush retreat lies on 26,000 hectares of bushveld in the North-eastern Lowveld, South Africa. Makalali Game Reserve boasts the “Big Five” – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Other characteristic species are cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, and kudu.
The outside area is distinctively designed around the natural surroundings with a spacious deck built around indigenous trees, overlooking a watering hole. It’s the ideal place to see wildlife interact and take in the scenery. Equally spectacular is the large crystal blue rim flow pool. Its comfy chairs and sun-loungers create an inviting ambience, paired with a signature Makalali drink.
