there is nothing not to like about Makumu. I cannot even put to words how amazing the resort was, as well as the quality of the staff. Kitchen, housekeeping, rangers, spotters, everyone was beyond accomodating and kind. there are 1000 places to stay to do a safari in the Kruger area and we feel SO lucky we found Makumu. It is luxury and quality and you will get an authentic safari experience. we left feeling so sad, as the staff started to feel like family. Truly look no further for a place to stay for incredible views, perfect hospitality, and an authentic safari experience. we will be back!!

Where to begin! This was the most incredible stay we’ve ever experienced. We were lucky to stay here on our honeymoon and Makumu exceeded expectations on every level. The lodge itself is stunning - pictures don’t do it justice. We could see elephants, giraffes, and so many more wildlife from our room. The candles at night were such a magical and unique experience. The staff is phenomenal. When we were researching lodges, we were looking for reviews that mentioned the staff because you spend so much time on game drives and like so many reviews mention, the safari guides, trackers, and all staff were incredible!! We saw so much every drive and came back to an amazing meal and luxurious accommodations to rest. My husband had been on safari before in Kruger and said this experience didn’t even compare to the first. If you’re like us and are torn between several lodges - look no further. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Rooms were large. Shower great. The main lodge was big perched high providing a great view of the reserve. Nice indoor and outdoor dining facilities. Access to all beer, wine, alcohol and coffee. Great staff. Very personalized and very knowledgeable ranger.

What didn't we like - Makumu was amazing from start to finish. The staff is superior, the rooms are clean, beautiful, and everything you could want in a safari lodge. The game drives were exceptional - Ruan is incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we saw all Big 5. We loved our stay so much, that we extended our visit another day.

Sheree and AD were simply amazing. They took care of everything and were always the best hosts starting every morning and all throughout the day. The best part of the stay were of course the game drives, and AD was so dedicated to making sure we got to see as much wildlife as possible, and he is a wealth of knowledge about the smallest little detail about each animal and bird! Thanks guys!
