Makumu Private Game Lodge captures the timeless energy of the unblemished African bushveld in the Big 5 Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The Xitsonga word 'Makumu' refers to an expansive, unobstructed view over horizons. The lodge fittingly offers guests breathtaking scenery and ambience, while the suites draw inspiration from the Bushman, Ndebele and Zulu cultures of Africa. Guests can check out 'iThumbela' or 'place to hide', a ground-level photography bunker overlooking a watering hole, and visit Eco Children. This initiative emphasises hands-on environmental education, started by Klaserie Private Nature Reserve and supported by Makumu. The skilled ranger and tracker team also offer twice-daily game drives and wildlife tracking on foot.
