Absolutely stunning hotel. The game drives with guide Rifos and tracker Patrick were brilliant, they are incredibly skilled and showed us all the wildlife around. The food was delicious, the beds made up perfect daily. Can’t say anything negative about this place, it’s more than 5 stars.

Karongwe Portfolio - Kuname Lodge, hotel in Makalali Game Reserve

Set on 9000 hectares of unspoiled African bush, Karongwe Portfolio - Kuname Lodge offers exclusive and luxurious accommodation in Hoedspruit.

We got upgraded to the Becks safari lodge and it was the most amazing holiday we have had. It was such a great experience and we will definitely be back. The staff are absolutely amazing and so lovely. The food is 5 star and the game drives are so much fun. We saw all 5 of the big 5 animals and many others. Got to be so close to the animals and learnt so much from our ranger Kevin. He is so amazing and great at his job.

Karongwe Portfolio - Becks Safari Lodge, hotel in Makalali Game Reserve

Overlooking the Makhutsi River, Karongwe Portfolio - Becks Safari Lodge is located in the Karongwe Game Reserve. The lodge boasts an outdoor pool, spa and on-site restaurant.

The staff were all so great and friendly! Especially Johan and his wife and our guide Frankie and Gabriel, they made our stay such a comfortable and enjoyable one. Saw all of the big 5 and many other animals like cheetahs foxes, bush babies, giraffes too. Very highly recommend this place as it doesn't have too many guests at once so you feel you have your space too.

Bushriver Lodge, hotel in Makalali Game Reserve

Situated along the Olifants River, Bushriver Lodge features two swimming pools and a large deck with BBQ facilities.

We were here for 2 nights, but unfortunately we didn’t see the lodge during the day, because we were in the kruger park 2 full days. Nevertheless, we saw some hippo’s during the morning crossing the road, which was pretty special and other wildlife when we drove from and to the lodge in the evening or morning.

    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.

    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!

    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
