This is a wilderness lodge that also runs a tent camp. Our 12 friends were in the tent camp which was also great, but it was full when we booked. The Lodge had one cabin left and we booked it. If you can afford it, the Lodge felt so superior we abandoned our friends when possible and just enjoyed the food, service and great staff. Selfish, weren't we!!

The staff at Chisomo Safari Camp was exceptional. They were extremely accommodating to our group. Some examples - There was a safari ride set up for us on the afternoon we arrived. We arrived at 3:00 and we were off looking for the “big 5” at 3:30PM. - The Manager Thabo offered to have lunch available for us when we arrived from our drive up from Johannesburg - On our last day, we had an early departure scheduled and Thabo accommodated us by having a full hot breakfast available much to our surprise. - We had several in our group that had dietary restrictions. The kitchen staff made sure that breads and other items were specially prepared so they could enjoy their meals as well. - Our guide and tracker(Matthew and Forget) did an exceptional job. They answered all of our many questions about the birds and wildlife. They pointed out things that we would never have spotted on our own as we drove down the roads and in the bush. By the end of our stay, they were as much a part of our group as those of us that were guests. - The facilities are extremely well-maintained and enjoyable to stay at. - Donald, who would walk us back with his torch every night in the dark, made sure that he learned exactly which units we were each staying in after the first night. He went out of his way to talk to us about the animals on the property and his concern for our safety; as well as our return for a visit in the future.

    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! 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
