An intimate eight-suite lodge located in a private, pristine area of the Timbavati which adjoins the world-famous Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Situated overlooking a permanent water hole, teeming with game, guest suites are a very generous 140sqm/1500sqft with two suites also having a plunge pool. One of the suites is two-bedroomed, ideal for couples or a small family (children over 12).
We keep things discreet! Makanyi has a limit of just three game drive vehicles, which with an area of 8000 hectares to cover means you’ll feel like you’re truly in the wilderness!
The lodge prides itself on its homely atmosphere with welcoming staff, superb cuisine and the utmost attention to detail.
We’ve been voted the #1 resort in South Africa and #2 best resort in the world by the prestigious Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards 2024, both in the USA and in the U.K.
