In the Xitsonga language, the word “Makumu” refers to an intangible explanation of an open space, an uncluttered lookout over distant horizons, or an endless view. The breathtaking views and location of the lodge complement a deeply inspiring sense of space and place, leaving visitors rejuvenated with the ancient spirit of African wilderness.
The ‘Big Five’ Klaserie Private Nature Reserve is one of the largest privately owned nature reserves in South Africa, covering some 60 000 hectares and forming part of the greater Kruger National Park. Makumu Private Game Lodge is an intimate oasis in this vast wilderness, surrounded by the harshness, unpredictability and unspoiled appeal of the African bushveld. Six luxurious and beautifully appointed suites, accommodating a maximum of twelve guests, ensure an exclusive blend of absolute comfort, style and privacy.

We enjoyed of (course we did!) despite temperatures around or even above 40 degrees! All was good - no complaints! Just the lions were missing, but that's nature (the reason why we came here!) Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with wildlife and going on a journey in the bush. We recommend having Richard as your tracker - a kind and wonderful man. Also Chris as the ranger - he is extremely knowledgeable and funny. A true heart. Thanks for everything.

Eine fantastische Lodge mit super freundlichen Menschen! Absolute tolle Lage mitten im Busch. Tolle Game Drives mit tollen Guides. Sehr familäre Atmosphäre. Die Suite sind perfekt ausgestattet. Es mutet zunächst etwas seltsam an, dass es kein elektrisches Licht gibt aber wenn man abends in die mit Kerzen beleuchtete Suite kommt, ist das super romantisch. Wir waren schon in einigen Game Lodges und Makumu ist definitiv oberste Liga. Vielen Dank... Read More
