Start Planning
Makanyi Private Game Lodge offers a truly unique and intimate experience, set in a secluded part of the Timbavati where there are no other lodges—just a handful of private homes—and allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the bush, creating the feeling of having the entire wilderness all to yourself.
*No children in any suite under 14 years of age unless the lodge is booked on an exclusive basis
The lodge offers 5 spacious Luxury Suites with open-plan design, boasting stunning views of the bush and waterhole. Each suite features custom-made furnishings, indoor and outdoor showers, freestanding bathtubs, and a cozy gas fireplace.
For enhanced privacy, the lodge also offers 2 Luxury Pool Suites with private plunge pools and breathtaking bush views. Families and small groups can opt for the expansive Marula Suite, featuring two en-suite bedrooms, a dining room, and a spacious living room with cable TV.
With all meals served at the main lodge, guests can indulge in the comforts of home while immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
