Lodge Facilities

The Boma

Our unique floating boma is an iconic Makumu fingerprint, and is the realisation of one of many of Stefan Breuer’s dreams. Set high above the leopard river and the plains beyond, it is a stunning location for candlelit dinners, stargazing and warm campfire story-swapping.

The Pool

For a cool refreshing swim to escape the hot African sun, the pool at Makumu is ideal. Built as a feature to blend in with the surrounding bushveld, it is perfect for the warm lazy days of summer to cool off and watch various wildlife at the watering hole with a similar idea.

Entertainment

The upper lounge has a fireplace and viewing deck. Games are available for family and children. Guests have access to complimentary Wi-Fi in rooms and lounge areas.

Electricity Sources

The lodge has minimal electricity as it is powered by candlelight at night. International plug points are available in all suites. All rooms have fans.

The biggest thank you to everyone in the Makumu family! We couldn't have asked for a better three days to finish our first trip to South Africa. You have something very special here, which we will remember forever! Fondest wishes and hope to see you and the animals in the veld again one day.
