It's a self service. The location is perfect if one wants to be closer to nature and far from the city. I enjoyed it.

Very personal and family run bush camp. Jenni and Kristian are great hosts. We enjoyed the time over new year at this wonderful location. The tents are spacious and very clean. There is a large pool with sunbeds available and also a nice place to sit around the fire. The very good Breakfast and delicious Dinner is served together with the owners which is perfect for interesting conversations and sharing experiences. The Game Drives with Kristian were informative and varied with nice animal sightings. Simply a beautiful bush camp - highly recommended.

Truly amazing. We’ve never been so well looked after in our lives! From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The staff are friendly and the location gives the most amazing views whilst having meals. The rooms were so comfortable and were super clean. The entire property was well maintained throughout. Johan and Adelina ran everything impeccably and organised a couple of trips for us; the bush walk being a highlight. Our game drives were simply wonderful with Evans and Thomas who were happy to pass on their knowledge of the bush. We saw all that we wanted to, and more, often being so close to the animals whilst always feeling safe with our guides. Special thanks to Shirley, Rizen, Josina, Rueben and chefs Helen and Jeanette for their care and kindness. Thank you to all the team. Thank you for looking after us so well whilst we were with you, you made us feel like family. We will be hurrying back.

Stayed here many times in the last few years. A perfect little retreat for a couple of days close to Kruger, the Greater Kruger reserves and Hoedspruit. The rooms are very spacious and well maintained. Most of them have wifi, only room 1 has slightly less connection. The restaurant is also great and the accommodation comes with breakfast included. Staff is super friendly and helpful and would not hesitate to recommend the place!

    Liked so much about Makalali.

    Liked so much about Makalali. The staff were all super friendly - they sang a South African Happy Birthday to a guest, and had such a good reception from all the guests, the following night they did some more songs. They went out of their way to be accommodating. The setting, the food, the rooms - just can't fault it at all. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. Well worth a visit.

    Please let guests know how far you are from a met talked road. You finally come near the resort by R36. When you turn off the main road, there is a boom gate, and then a dusty but well graded unmettaled road for 9 kms. This brings you to a second boom gate. Another 11 kms from there in a poorly graded unmetalled road. The resort offers to pick you up from this gate. Take up this offer. The 11 kms is a difficult 25 minutes drive. You then arrive at the Old “Reception”, which is NOT THE RECPTION. You transfer to a resort jeep (very helpful staff) which then takes you the last 2 kms to the resort. All okay. But please warn the guests of these last 22 kms. After a long 450 Kms drive from Joburg, the last 22 are an unwelcome surprise.

    The Guides were awesome, always looking out for animals. We saw 4 out of the Big5 (Leppard was missing) Sure we would have find some with a longer stay. It was very quiet (less people) but the staff was really friendly even though and always helpful.

    The best bush experience of my life, It felt that I was in my own space connecting with nature. The staff of Makalali from the cleaners to the rangers are so friendly, welcoming and clued up with their surroundings. Waking up to seeing elephant from your patio or hearing the sound of lions at night was an awesome experience. Very seldom do we get to see the big 5 and we sighted the big 5 and more over a 2 day period. I will definitely re-visit.

    Beautiful long 3hrs game drives, in the morning and evening! Which was excellent to make the most of site seeing on the reserve. I love the midway breaks on the drive, to take in the views Boma dinners with the fire pits around made it a great way to end the day
