"Wir haben das Riverhaus (Familien-Chalet) für 4 Personen gebucht. Das war sehr schön und grosszügig. Die Tiere (Nyala, Warzenschweine usw.) konnten wir von der Terrasse aus beobachten. Im holzbefeuerten Whirpool (wird von den Mitarbeitern aufgeheizt, kostet zusätzlich) haben wir die Umgebung genossen, war toll. Auch sonst war alles sehr schön und bestens. Die morgendliche Anfahrt ins "Big-5-Gebiet" dauert etwas und man muss sich warm anziehen, lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall."

The property - pool, walkways, dining area - were all very well maintained. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. All the activities were very well-executed and planned. Drivers/guides/trackers were wonderful (knowledgeable, friendly, professional, etc.). Highly recommended. "

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Makalali Game Reserve?

> Staying directly within a private lodge means you're already in the heart of the bushveld, offering immediate access to wildlife viewing opportunities. These lodges typically include game drives with experienced rangers and trackers, often twice daily, along with all meals and sometimes other activities like bush walks. This all-inclusive approach simplifies planning and allows you to focus entirely on the safari experience.
> 
>   
> For couples seeking a romantic and secluded getaway, lodges positioned along the Makhutswi River or overlooking watering holes are particularly appealing. These locations often provide opportunities to view animals directly from your private deck or communal areas, enhancing the sense of being immersed in nature.

### When is the best time to go to Makalali Game Reserve?

> During these months, the vegetation is sparse, making animals easier to spot. Water sources become limited, concentrating wildlife around rivers and watering holes. The weather is generally cooler and drier, with clear skies and less humidity, which is more comfortable for safari activities. This time of year is excellent for most travelers, particularly those on their first safari, as the chances of seeing a wide variety of animals are significantly higher.
> 
>   
> For travelers who prefer warmer weather and don't mind the occasional rain shower, the shoulder seasons of April or November can also be a good option. During these months, the landscape begins to green, and while wildlife viewing can be more challenging due to thicker bush, you might witness newborn animals and migratory birds.
