A Sanctuary for Wildlife Enthusiasts 

Makumu Private Game Lodge is situated within the breathtaking Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, a sprawling 60,000 hectares of untouched wilderness brimming with diverse flora and fauna. This pristine environment is not only a stunning backdrop for your safari adventure but also an integral part of a larger conservation initiative focused on preserving the natural habitat and supporting local wildlife populations. The ultimate goal at Makumu is to offer guests the opportunity to experience the everyday life of the wild in the most authentic and undisturbed way possible. This approach allows guests to appreciate the intricate relationships that sustain life in the bush, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for the natural world.  

 

The Photographic Bunker: A Unique Experience 

One of the standout attractions at Makumu is the Photographic Bunker, designed specifically for wildlife photography. This innovative facility allows photographers to immerse themselves in the natural world without disturbing the animals. Built into the landscape and camouflaged with natural materials, the bunker provides a safe and unobtrusive vantage point for observing and photographing a variety of species. Photographers can capture stunning images of elephants, lions, giraffes, and other iconic African species as they gather around a waterhole located just outside the bunker. The location of the bunker was carefully chosen to maximise opportunities for wildlife encounters, ensuring that guests leave with memorable memories and photographs. 

The bunker is available for exclusive use and is particularly popular during the early morning and late afternoon, known as the “golden hours” for photography. The soft, warm light during these times creates stunning conditions for capturing the vibrant colours of the bush and its inhabitants. Many guests find themselves spellbound by the tranquility of the environment, often spending hours in the bunker, waiting patiently for the perfect sighting.

After a day of out in the wild, guests can retreat to the luxurious accommodations at Makumu. The lodge features spacious, beautifully appointed suites that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding bush. Each suite is designed to provide maximum comfort while maintaining a connection to the natural world, allowing guests to unwind in style. 

Dining at Makumu is a culinary delight that enhances the overall guest experience. The lodge’s menu features a carefully curated selection of dishes that showcase fresh, locally sourced ingredients, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of South Africa.
