Highlights
What We Love
- All suites have soothing views of the Marico river
- Set on private land adjoining Madikwe Game Reserve
- Freedom to undertake walks and behind-the-scenes tours
When To Visit
Peak Season: May to September
May to September is generally high season as the dry winter months result in game mustering around water sources
Low Season: October to April
October to April is the rainy summer season that offers up birdlife, baby herbivores and photo opportunities in abundance
Overview
Because it is set on 1 800 hectares / 4 450 acres of private land adjacent to Madikwe, Last Word Makanyane is able to offer special bush stops and one-of-a-kind experiences not permitted in the game reserve itself. In addition to classic game drives and nature walks, you could opt for an interesting guided township tour or go behind the scenes to see how the reserve operates, giving you a fuller picture of both South Africa and Big 5 conservation.
Last Word Makanyane takes guests of 12 and older, and all the suites face the lush riverine forest surrounding the meandering Marico river. And where there is water, game is sure to follow: don’t be surprised to see an elephant grazing peacefully outside!
