Makalali Game Reserve Vacations from $2,236

I must say I had an exceptional experience. It was impeccably clean, spacious, comfortable and perfectly quiet. The staff was warm and friendly. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of comfort and relaxation. If you looking for a peaceful retreat that truly feels like home, look no further.

This is a most beautiful and tranquil hideaway that invites you in so you never want to leave. In the first hour of our arrival a herd of elephants with some babies came to drink, just metres away. Hardus and his team offered impeccable service. Wonderful meals every day, with every wish catered for. The highlight, by far, was the game drives early morning and late afternoon. Hardus is an exceptionally knowledgeable and competent guide, and full of passion for the animals and the environment. We experienced incredible sightings, from lion to elephants at play, to almost everything else. It’s very beautiful and interesting terrain, with a marvellous riverside experience included. Our early morning coffee outside the vehicle on the river bank, watching the hippos and the sunrise, were memorable. It doesn’t get better than this!
